Short and Overdue

Okay, there is a lot to share about our backyard camping trip with the Rowzees, the last trip to the coast with the Heyens, dinner and a movie with the Clarks, and the amazing blessing that was moving out with the help of our church family (major props to Jacob Warde).

We will give you a quick update. Tonight we are in Mountain Home, Idaho on a broken bed in the Best Western. After we turned in our keys on Friday (in one month we'll see how much energy we will need to spend to try and get some of our deposit money back), we headed up to The Couve to spend time with Glenn, Dawn, Kellen, and Noah. Pink Panther 2 put me to sleep. Glenn and Noah went golfing on Saturday; Dawn and Jennifer shopped for antiques (we are bringing a cast iron saguaro cornbread pan and some sweet Frankhoma pottery); and Kellen took me to Voodoo Doughnuts and the Saturday Market. Dinner was at the great Burgerville. I had a Walla Walla Onion Burger with Horseradish and a fresh raspberry shake...so good.

It was tough to say goodbye to all our friends and, especially, our family. They mean a lot to us, and  we wish the distance between us wasn't so far.

Today, Kellen came with us to help us drive and unload in Logan. It's nice to spend a little more time with him before he goes to college. Glenn was also able to retrieve my fourth grade basketball ball shirt (kelley green, 25, BONNER) from the Salvation Army for Noah. It's a pretty sweet story, but I'm kind of tired.

Peace.
