I had a great trip to Tennessee.  The four hour drive by myself was filled with beautiful scenery and humbling views.  As I drove listening to my favorite music (singing along, of course) I couldn’t resist snapping pictures through the windshield.

 

Meeting all the wonderful people that I am working with was such a blessing.  We had such a time fellow-shipping and learning more about each other.  A lot was accomplished. 

The hospitality of our host and hostess was overwhelming and their children were amazing.  I was so excited to meet my blogging buddy Heidi. She is all I thought she was and so much more.

It is hard to put into words what a fabulous and gifted group of people I am working with.  It amazes me how God places people into our lives the way that He does and all the twists and turns He puts in our paths.  I work directly under an awesome lady who has such a heart for our Father it inspires me. 

The other ladies I met are all so terrific, kind and so down to earth.  I could go on and on, singing of each of their virtues.

When I arrived home on Saturday I was greeted with the most wonderful surprise.  Today is our 24^th anniversary and my husband wanted me to have something special.  While I was gone, he and my dad put in a new kitchen floor.  Wahoo!  Happy Dance all over the place.  If you read my blog regularly you may remember me mentioning my desire for a new floor a few times.  I have wanted one for quite a few years as the old one was in such a pathetic state.  It went from this:

And they even did the bathroom:

These guys are the greatest!

Thank you, Daddy for all your help.  You rock! 

And, honey, I love you more each and every day we share together.  Happy Anniversary!

This has been the most exciting, outstanding week I can hardly contain myself.  I think I’ll go do my happy dance again.
