Where we’re headed

Yeah, we’re not headed to Orlando.

And, while that would be awesome, this weekend is still going to be awesome…even with those temperatures.

We have the pleasure of heading out to Grand Rapids, Michigan (Yes, I spelled that out because I couldn’t remember the abbreviation). And, we couldn’t be more excited. Mark has the honor of speaking at the annual Adoption Associates gala (because he’s a rockstar and totally awesome). I get to wear a pretty new dress that my mom and dad bought for me and cheer him on while I sit among the hundreds of guests there. So excited. Would it be totally inappropro to hold up poster board that says “I love that man” or “I’m with HIM!” Probably. My nice dress and big smile will have to suffice.

AND, we get to spend a few hours at Calvin College tomorrow to talk to students about China. AND, we get to spend time with dear friends and meet their daughters in person finally. AND, we get to stay at a bed and breakfast that has a fireplace in our room apparently (#spoiled). AND, we get to share at a church Sunday morning for a few minutes.

I can’t imagine a better way to start Thanksgiving week.

Bring on the winter weather. We’ll be on the red eye out to you, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
