Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Jon came home!

We have been living in Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Jon's home for the week as they visited more Groves family in Southern California. We loved having a home base for the week that was actually a home. We spent much of the week working, and I got a lot of time in with Rory's cousin Laura. We spent a day at a local farm with a beautiful Victorian home to tour. It was so great to have some girl time on this trip. As much as I love talking politics with Rory (which happens very, very frequently lately)...it was so great just to be a girl hanging out with a girlfriend. We also got lots of time in with her family and had some more birthday celebrating for their family friend Maria.

Yesterday we went to Alpha and Sunday worship with Jon and Carolyn, out for lunch with Laura and John's family for more birthday celebrating, and back to their church for evening worship. I loved their church and it was a really powerful evening for me... a good night of song and prayer and I felt filled up when we left.
