Seven days and counting.
Yesterday in a whirlwind of appointments during my 'I only get to the big town once a month I better get everything done' day, I met with the travel agent to finalize all the details of our Hawaii trip. We had a few last minute changes since our island airline is no longer servicing planes. Alas, all is well and we are anticipating a nice vacation.
The hubby and I actually snuck away on Sunday afternoon, too. We caught a cheap movie and had theater popcorn and snacks for supper. It was good to get some alone time.
I was thinking about how much I am longing for a nice vacation. I worry to much about what ifs and it would be so nice to just be able to sit back and relax.
Reminds me of the promise of God's goodness.
Isaiah 30:18 And therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him!
Things may not always turn out the way you want them to, but even in disappointing times there is still reason to HOPE!

Ok, so I already thought you were gone. I imagined you funning and sunning on the beach all weekend, only to find out that you're still stuck East River. What's up with that??
Hope you have a great time. You guys deserve a Hawaii break!!!
We are looking forward to it. It is finally sinking in now that we have the tickets. East River? You are such a West River girl aren't you?
Yepper! I love the people East River, but not the wind. Or the bugs. Or the crappy weather.
HAVE FUN!!!
