For the past nine days, we were in Colorado for Denver Christmas Conference. It is an incredible conference, and God uses it again and again to change the lives of the students (and staff) who attend.
The morning we were leaving to make the two-day trek out to Denver from Indiana, Caleb woke up with a barking cough. Unfortunately, the cough and the congestion that accompanied it never went away throughout the entire duration of the conference, and we were unable to put him in childcare. Although I had hoped to participate more this year, I really enjoyed getting to spend fun time with people. And I also didn't mind too much not having to cook or clean.
This morning, Brandon went back to Kansas to go pheasant hunting with his dad and brother. Caleb and I came home to a fridge stocked with the basics, freshly made bread, a very excited cat, and an amazingly leaf-free yard. Our friends, Daniel and the Wong Family, all took great care of our home and Millie while we were gone. I cannot say THANK YOU enough! We love you guys!
Our trees finally decided to dump all their leaves just as we were leaving...and I was not looking forward to dealing with that when we came home. A group of friends from church took it upon themselves to rake all those leaves and bag them up. Our yard looks amazing, and there must be twenty or more bags out there on our curb waiting to be picked up by the trash truck. What an incredible BLESSING you guys are! Thanks so much!
I am off to go do some laundry now. :-)
