The Lord is so great!!! Karen and I had a wonderful weekend in Raleigh, NC. We went to spend time with two great couples, both from our travel group. One couple, Stu and Ellyn, drove up from Sanford. And the other Dave and Aimee, live there in Raleigh and we spent the night at their place. We went up there to enjoy the fellowship that they all provide, and get a little closer since we hope all our daughters from China will be playing together. Karen and I feel so blessed to have become such good friends with both couples. Aimee and Dave really made us feel like a king and queen by the genuine hospitality they showed us. We really felt like we were in a Bed and Breadfast with how much they did for us. We look forward to spending more time with them between now and the time we travel to China. It makes me appreciate the friendship even more knowing that the Lord brought us all together in this adoption journey.
The weekend started with Karen and I making the 3-1/2 hour drive to Raleigh to meet them at Dave and Aimee's house. We all went to the North Carolina State Fair and ended the day Saturday with dinner at Dave and Aimee's. Aimee cooked an awesome chili. After Stu and Ellyn left for home we just enjoyed the company of our hosts. We slept (very comfortably I might add), got up Sunday morning and went to Dave and Aimee's church. Talked some more after church and made the 3-1/2 hour drive home. We stopped at Karen's favorite place to shop and eat (Cracker Barrel) whenever we are on the road and got home around 6:30 pm.
Overall, an excellent weekend.
If you were expecting something more on today's blog, sorry to disappoint you. If you happen to be Dave, Aimee, Stu, and/or Ellyn, thank you so much for your time with you. You all are great people and Karen and I are blessed to have you all as friends.
God Bless Us All,
Bob :-)
