Don’t you just love weekends that stretch on and on as if in a magical continuum of awesomeness? I do. This last weekend was one of those “time-stands-still-because-I’m-in-my-happy-place” kind of times.
Well, after a
wonderful Friday and Saturday, our good friend
Dani came to spend Sunday with us. She showed up early enough for cinnamon rolls for breakfast and the grand tour of our place. Then we hit the road headed West. Driving over the pass, we were pelted with driving rain, but the moment we stepped out of the car and onto the
beach, the rain seemed to stop altogether.

A week ago, Dani posted her
Bucket List on her
blog; and I found a few that we could ‘check off’ while she was in town. So
the Mr. and I found some kiddy-sand toys and a kite to help make all of her dreams come true. One item on her bucket list was to build a sandcastle - moat and all! And, boy, did we build a sandcastle! Complete with a drawbridge to span the moat and everything!

We flew kites, bought salt water taffy, sent messages in a bottle, ate ice cream, and talked and talked and talked. Let me tell you, this girl is pretty rad. We SO loved spending this time with her… a sweet reminder of home and of the blessing of friendship.
After church and dinner at
Imbrie Hall, we had to say goodbye. It was such a fun time of fellowship – tough to get back to reality this week. (Especially with the Mr.’s new job schedule. 4:30am wake-ups = Yuck!) Ah, but we are thankful for the job... :)
