Three years of dreaming is what it was...
Since the day our dear friends left on a jet plane to move to Oregon we began to long for when we'd all be together again...
We talked and aspired, and skyped and hoped. The days turned into years as the kids grew and life sped by. After Madison and I visited in the winter of 2013 we came home determined to return with the rest of the family the next summer.
We saved, planned, and set our sights on a vacation like we'd never taken before. For the last 16 years our vacations have primarily been to see or be with family and we had not ever been gone over one week.
God is merciful and gracious and so kind. He blesses friendships and declares His love for us in amazing ways. He preserves and grows relationships. This June, for the first time ever, all six of us boarded a plane together - to fulfill a hope in our hearts. What a glorious trip it was!
Portland from the air....
Mt. Hood from the plane...
Together again...
