We’re home sweet home!! We had tons of fun with friends and family, and we’re thankful to have made it home safe and sound. I posted lots of Instagrams as we made our way to Minnesota and back, but I’m hoping to get some of our DSLR pics uploaded so that I can blog about my favorite parts of the trip soon.
But for now, it’s my birthday- so I’m off to celebrate the first day of my 39th year!
I celebrated the last day of my 38th with a trip to the zoo yesterday…
It was wonderful, but very hot, so I think a movie theater might be on my wish list today!

Happy Birthday and many blessings to you in the year ahead! I am loving your photos and can’t wait to read about your trip.
Gloria
Happiest of birthdays to you! I am racking my brain trying to think of the sweet girls’ name in the photo with you. Married to a former member of Sela? At least it looks like her. I was fortunate to get to hear her speak at a church here near Nashville. Are you buddies or did you get to hear her as well? I love the web of life and seeing people I “know of” that know each other.
