NEXT TRIP DEPARTS IN: 3 DAYS
Take a moment and feel the sun on your skin
Hello there and Happy Saturday to you!
Is it just me or is today kinda flying by?! I prefer my Saturdays to take their sweet time and allow me to indulge in the weekend for as long as possible :)
On this weekend Dave and I are celebrating our anniversary. Typically we celebrate on the actually anniversary and in much grandeur fashion, but this year I have the choir trip that we are heading on in 3 days (being away over the actual anniversary) and Dave has already used up just about all of his vacation time (and then some)!
If you happen to recall last year we went on our Magical Anniversary Trip - which was really quite MAGICAL!

And we'll see where next year takes us - will we make it to Greece? Or will we explore around Bali? And since I like to plan things out pretty far in advance I think we'll figure this out and get something on the calendar sooner rather than later.
Well well well, I have been taking a gander at the posts from the Magical Anniversary Trip and I'll be sharing the links with you very soon. Boy oh boy were there some wonderful times and a few really good laughs!
Now I'll go ahead and get on with the show - today's show and tell you about yesterday...you know how it goes.
It was time to go and visit with Angie once more and perhaps the last time that we will be able before we head out on our trip. Upon our arrival to the hospital - her bed and room was empty!
I had no idea where she was and I couldn't reach either of her parents.
So we waited and waited, hoping to finally get to see her before we had to go.
And yes when there was only about 15 minutes before we had to leave, we saw Angie approaching from down the hall with her parents at each of her sides. She was beaming. She had a huge smile plastered across her face and such infectious energy. It was a good day!
The hospital apparently has an open house "Beach Day" for the kids each summer and the kids get to leave their rooms and the floor to the room decorated like the beach!
The beach comes to them!
Angie had got to walk outside and feel the sun on her skin for the first time in over a month.

It brought a smile to her face and made her think of all those times that she chose to stay indoors instead of playing outdoors. She certainly missed it.
It's so sad to think that it's those little things that we all take for granted.

Angie was also happy to see Cosette, as Cosette was happy to see Angie. They played a couple of quick rounds of UNO and then we had to be on our way.
It appears that Angie might only have about another week in the hospital before she is released to go home. But the road ahead is a long one and she'll need to return twice a month for treatment. Let's please be sure to keep her and her family in our prayers!

The rest of the day was filled with my hair appointment and local errands before we were to head over to the Choir Director's house for a little meeting with most of the travelers which was followed by an Ice Cream Social.

Despite some of the serious expressions in these photos, the kids are actually all quite excited about the upcoming trip and cannot wait to get up to Idaho!
I'm gonna get on with the day and celebrate.
