A Long Time Coming

This trip today has been a long time coming. I love my three girls dearly and love spending time with them, yet this weekend is going to be a nice break. The idea of me taking a trip just for me first came up last year around my birthday, but Jess getting sicker made me decide to postpone it. I've already hurdled two potential obstacles: I woke up with my alarm (even at dark o'clock) and I made it safely to the airport. Now all that is left is to get on the plane, think warm thoughts, and enjoy Philly.

Jake,
Enjoy this time. Even "moms" need a break from their kids - you will come home will some new perspective, rest and a deeper love for the girls, even though you might not have thought it could get deeper! Blessings!

Holy cow!!! I just looked at Yahoo Weather and the temperature in Philly right now is NINE DEGREES!!! YIKES!!!

Well my friend, whatever you do up there, I hope you stay bundled up. The last thing the girls need when you get back is a frozen Jake-sicle!

Seriously, enjoy this time away. Prayers for rest, relaxation, and WARMTH are with you right now.

In Him and around the corner (and thankful for double-digit temperatures),

Al
