Tonight Adam is with all his good guy-buddies having one last poker night for a while. Nothing like vats of chili, and cards to make a fun night for the boys.
On Wednesday we were able to spend some time at the Minnesota Zoo. Yes - I did get out of the office! My company has been beyond flexible in allowing me to relish these last few days. At any rate - the zoo was very interesting, as little Miss Livi had a definite aversion to each and every animal. She was totally freaked out. We went through the tropics trail, to Discovery Bay, past the African animals. Each one was just agonizing for her! She made a little scared face and made teeny fists of fright. It wasn't until we met the meer cats that she lit up. Bryna ate up every moment, of course. And were just completely entertained by them both.
It was so lovely, walking together as a family - trying to maintain some level of ignorance of the imposing leave date. It's weird to think of the "last" things. The last time we'll do this for a while, etc. And, for Adam - the last time doing a LOT of things as a civilian. I think we are just really trying to soak it all in and we can't get enough!
Today we went out and got an early b-day present for Bryna. She's been riding a 2-wheeler for almost 2 years now, and has never had her own - usually garage salers - which is totally fine. Except the fact that they all have flat tires, or some other major malfunction. So we finally lept and got a nice BIG, big-girl bike. She did just fine until she got going way to fast (trying to race her older, boy cousin) and took a big nasty spill. I, thankfully, didn't see most of it lagging way behind the rest of the crew, but Adam's explaination, coupled with her road rash was plenty! The poor thing. She was awfully shook up, but determined to get back on tomorrow to try again. Nevermind the fact she didn't want to cut the ride short to go get bandanged up! :-)
Here are a few pics from this week's adventures.
In closing - we got a really neat card from Adam's folks for our anniversary (thanks "mom" :-) The quote read: "God doesn't just know your story, He wrote it." - Max Lucado
How true, and how comforting.
It's still not a reality to me. I don't know what to expect and am guarded with my emotions - afraid that if I allow any at all - the flood gates will break! But I do know there's a hope and a future and great plans - just like God promises in Jeremiah 29:11
With that - Good night, God bless - and more to come. (including the pizza I just ordered.)
