We're off!

Not a usual Manna Monday post. . .

I am too busy bustling around trying to get ready for our 6:30 am departure to the airport tomorrow!

We are off to Chicago for two weeks!  Our days will be filled with:

much needed girl time and talk

lots of chocolate and wine and coffee

lots of other delicious and girly food!! Yay!

Time on the lake: taking Tirzah on a boat for the first time!

Celebrating the marriage of friends with Renee, Greg, and Marlene

Visiting with dear friends made while we lived in the Wheaton area


We are so looking forward to our time!  I will try to keep pictures posted, but I make no promises!  These two weeks might be a little slower for the blog.

But thank you for your continued prayers over our family and over our Soldier.  We continue to stand in awe of His faithfulness and his protection over Tirzah and I and also over Daniel and all the men of 3rd platoon.
