Jeremiah 29:11

Camping in a hurry ...

when we purchased a self-contained camper ... there was the promise of leaving this ready to go in a moments notice ...

the reality is that sheets get washed and put away in the house and need to be toted to the camper before every departure ...

food can't be stored for fear of critters ...

clothes have to be packed, meals planned, large cooking vessels hauled down the drive way ...

school books have to be included, as well as the dry erase boards ...

Ipods and cellphone chargers usually make their way into the mix ...

and because of the Florida-UT game, we're taking the big TV in hopes that we'll be able to pick up a signal.

2 hours ago ... the question was, "why are we doing this?"

right now, with sheets gathered, clothes nearly packed, meals planned, books packed, the cooler than we've seen in a while breeze that's blowing outside whispers the answer in my ear, "because we can ... be cause he's worth the trouble ... because it means that body and mind slow their frantic pace ... because souls reconnect and love one another better"

and so we're off! 

I am SO jealous ...
