Blessings

I had been craving a doughnut, badly.  No place had them except for this one little shop that we found.  But, alas, when we pulled up it we noticed that it was closed.  Mary ran to the door to see if the woman working would open it, but she wouldn't.  As Mary got back in and sat in her car, we looked over and there was the woman, waving us in.  She told us she would sell us a doughnut, but would only accept cash.  Sadly, we told her we had no cash and began to exit the shop defeated once again.  But then, she turned and said that she would allow us to follow her into the back, take as many doughnuts that were left, and fill a box.  She was an angel and displayed such an example of kindness that I was overwhelmed.  Many thanks to her, Joanna, for the gift of doughnuts and kindness.

You Scream, I Scream

On our way to Portland, we stopped at SnoCap.  Best ice cream around!


Goodbye, Krueger family

The Krueger family is amazing.  So unbelievably filled with Christ, that they give nothing but His love.  They are so genuine, so gracious, so giving, so loving, so amazing, and so beyond words.  I loved spending the week with them and getting to know them, and feel so blessed from them.  I love and will miss them dearly.

feels like morning in your eyes

McMannomans

this place is insane.  It's a building that has and is not limited to: swimming, concerts, bar, restaurant, movie theater, bon fire, lounge, and hotel.  his place has it all!

Cabin

We spent a night at the Kreugers cabin in Sisters, Oregon.  It was in the middle of the woods - no cell phone service, no internet connection - just each other and nature.  It was really refreshing and renewing.  We spent a lot of time just hanging out and chatting, going on walks, and playing games.  I was also able to kayak and taught to fly fish, which has been a dream of mine.  It was our own little getaway, only a million times better.
