But.
Guys. Guys. GUYS!
Guess where I am going?!?!
In forty days, and approximately 5 1/2 weeks from now, I will be getting on a plane.
And I will be flying.
To. . .
Spokane, Washington!!!!
Ahhhh!!! It's happening at last!!! Can you tell I'm excited??? :D
Barring no major illnesses or catastrophes, I will be leaving on October 3rd to meet a very dear friend, Emily McConnell, and spend ten days with her and her family!
When we took a trip up to Washington and Oregon last year as a family, I had been planning to meet her, but God decided it wasn't the right time.
And so the matter was laid to rest.
Then earlier this year I started tossing around the idea of going up to visit. I prayed about it, talked to Emily about it, and we were tentatively planning that I would come up in October. But there were still so many things that needed to work out.
Well, a few months, a summer job and a phone call between our dads later, and . . . I bought the tickets yesterday.
And I'm going to Washington to meet her!!!!! :D

| Pretty sure this will be me . . . |
So yes. I'm sure y'all will be hearing a lot more about it in the coming weeks. ;)
God has been so, SO good, and I can't wait to see how everything turns out! For now I will simply say good-bye and go and dance around the house. I can act a little crazy, right? After all, what else is excitement for? ;)
See y'all Friday!

Plane rides are great (as long as they aren't 10 hour) and are made even better when a friend is at the end. So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteHaha, true! This is supposed to be about 2 hours, and then another connecting flight of 2 hours, so not too bad. :)
