A Wee Bit of Ahhhh

Shawn and I had a wonderful time in Prescott over the weekend.  It was full of lots of time to rest, relax, read, and just be with each other.

Saturday evening I got to see a friend I hadn’t seen in six years.  In that time she has had four beautiful children.  Lately we’ve kept in touch via Facebook but unfortunately life and the responsibilities that go with it have prevented us from seeing each other.  It was wonderful to see her and visit.  And I am excited that she and her husband are going to be in town for a wedding of a mutual friend later this month and we are planning to do dinner.

After dinner Shawn and I gathered around his laptop and over a shaky wifi signal we watched Compassion’s Help Haiti Live Benefit Concert.  I was moved by the generosity of the artists that performed, and even more moved by the stories I heard.  I gave a mental shout out to my friend Alece who I knew was there.

I lived in Prescott for about two and a half years.  It is a nice little city nestled amongst towering Pine Trees and mountains.

On Sunday morning we woke up to snow.  I have a soft spot in my heart for a bit of snow.  I grew up in Northern Arizona and was accustomed to having snow in the winter.  The most we ever had was four feet.  Living in Phoenix you don’t get snow.  You may get the occasional snow flurry if it gets cold enough, but nothing like what I grew up in.  I miss snow and was extremely thrilled to be able to see and be in this.  Shawn was thrilled for me too.

This was probably the first time I actually felt relaxed and rested after a vacation.  I immensely enjoyed my time with Shawn.

Thank you for your prayers I am feeling better.
