vacation!

Dave & I just returned from a WONDERFUL vacation to St. John and St. Thomas. I'll have to link to a slideshow later for more pics - here are just a couple of my favorites.







If you're in the vacation market, you MUST consider St. John. It is a beautiful island - one of the US Virgin Islands, so they use the dollar and speak English! They drive on the left side of the road, but Dave was a great driver - no shock, there. We spent a day on a sailboat (visited Jost Van Dyke, a British Virgin Island), did some fly fishing, hiked a national park trail, and ate LOTS of delicious food. The beaches are beautiful and there are lots of them! I could (obviously) go on and on, but I think you get the picture that we had a wonderful time!

God has blessed us with an amazing 10 years of marriage (the cause for the vacation) and we were able to spend some great time talking and reconnecting. We stayed at a B&B with 2 other couples - one on their honeymoon and another who were about to celebrate 40 years of marriage! It was cool to think about how far we've come since the honeymoon and how far to go to 40 years together!! It's been an interesting time but we are blessed to see the evidence of God working in wonderful ways through it all.
