Time Out


I'm sitting in our hotel room at the Hampton Inn trying to think of a good way to encapsulate our experiences over the last week. We didn't plan on staying in any hotels on this trip, but found ourselves needing some time to ourselves to relax and be refreshed from a whirlwind tour of seeing friends and supporters. We counted yesterday a grand total of 14 visits with different families in 8 days. I feel like someone hit the "blend" button on my brain... But, God knows what we need before we know, and blessed us with this beautiful hotel with a pool and free breakfast. Our trip has been a blast and we have felt the overwhelming grace of many people who have welcomed us into their homes, fed us, loved us, made us laugh, and encouraged us greatly. We're anticipating fun times with Scotty's extended family this weekend as we celebrate his cousin's wedding, and a slower paced week next week with his parents in Tennessee. We miss all our friends in Charlotte, and will try to share some more details when time permits. Stay tuned!
