I had a wonderful time with the Dan Bixby Fam. I got there around noon on Friday. The kids had the day off in honor of my arrival! (haha!) We spent a relaxing afternoon chatting, and then went and met Vanessa and her new hubby, Scott, for supper and then went to a concert which was very enjoyable. We had a good time. Saturday, we all slept in a bit. Then we girls hit up the MOA. I haven't been there in YEARS, so I wanted to at least say I'd been while I was up here! They taught me how to play Settlers of Catan--a game I've been wanting to learn how to play! It was fun. Late night.
Sunday, they leave for church at the crack of dawn! Great service. Dan had put a lot of time into the song service making it somewhat of a Good Friday service (or Passion Sunday, as he called it.) It was such a blessing. Truly one of the best, if not the best, song service I've ever participated in.
Sunday evening they had a business meeting. So, Ben and I went mountain biking. WoW! It was quite the experience, but thoroughly thrilling--for the most part! (Has Ben gotten a helmet, yet?!) It was good b/c I had to burn off some of the calories inflicted on me by 2 incredibly awesome cooks in that household! YUM!
Monday was a bright and early morning. Got to see Ben off, then Elise. I left before Isabelle. Don't know how they keep track of everyone's schedules! So confusing! Dan helped me get a rental. Then I drove to see Vanessa at a Starbucks. Was good to sit and chat with her for about an hour. We had a good conversation and time of prayer together. She is very happy in her new life, if a bit homesick.
Was a great visit, and I am so thankful the Lord worked it out for me to go.
Thank you, Dan, Brenda, Elise, Ben, and Isabelle for a WoNdErFuL time!
