We're HOME!!!

Wow, what an amazing and emotional trip we had. I missed my boys but it was a great time with Steven, other wonderful couples, Pastors and time with God. We spent 4 days at a ranch style camp/retreat in Missouri and it was awesome. The food was incredible, we had a personal chef that cooked us 3 perfect meals everyday and we formed some amazing friendships as well. The weather was INCREDIBLE!!! They had NO SNOW left and it was in the 50's and 60's!!! We traveled through 7 states, (Minnesota, Iowa, ND, SD, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska).
One of the best parts of the trip though was last night when we got to break away from our group and go visit some old friends from Cali that all moved away to Missouri. We were only about 40 minutes from them and knew we couldn't pass that opportunity up.
We laughed...HARD, joked, visited, remembered, met their children...it was awesome. The only thing is, we wish we lived closer to them. Jessie and Crystal remind me of my sister and I, just awesome girls full of life and love for the Lord. Robert, Kim, Jas and Lance are doing amazing and I think Robert is half the size he was. Billy was looking pretty thin as well. We stayed later than we should have, poor Billy has to get up early for work and we almost made Robert late for work.
Crystal and Jessie overheard that it was Steven's birthday today and prepared two Reeses PB Easter eggs for him with candles and Billy presented Steven with this treat while we all sang. Steven totally thought I told them but it was their own doing and kind hearts that lead them.
Thanks girls, Steven loved it!!!
We're SO happy to have spent time with all of you. Thanks Kyle and Jessie for opening your home to us last night. What awesome fellowship we had!
