Saturday Morning at about 2:30 am my head hit the pillow beside Nate in our bed in cold Amherst. We had driven all day long with a group of 13 students plus staff and our kids from Atlanta GA after a wonderful week serving and visiting with friends. Nate and the students stayed on a farm helping and served in a few downtown places helping those in need. I stayed with our good friends from PA and had adventures with our kids- a playground in the sun, fun with water, botanical gardens, the world of CocoCola, the Aquarium and more. A few wonderful things about our trip: Our kids really are amazing- they slept well in new places, shared with each other, traveled well in the car! I connected with half of our staff team/friends from our time in PA- a place I never wanted to go, but now couldn't imagine our life without those connections! I love Coke! I really enjoy hanging out with students- and love that had the trip Olivia was asking "where are the students? when are we going to see the students?" Glad to be home, though I miss the WARM weather and friends. Grateful.
