32nd Birthday Weekend Celebration

 

We did a bunch of munching on these……..

While doing much lounging here……

and here…….

enjoying beautiful views……..

stunning wildlife………

and naked beauty……………

   

Home we arrive to a house full of friends, food, & gifts & a tumbled, yet delicious cake!  we had so much fun, barely any photos were taken of the event ;(  My friend RoseMarie whom I was friends with over 7 yrs ago while stationed in OK ( and lost touch with) is now stationed here in WA too & we reconnected a few months ago & she brought this delicious cake.  It fell over on the way, but it was still divinely sinful!!!  If I blog of all the wonderful gifts I received ya’ll would think I was bragging & I would be ~ so……as I use them, I will share them ;)  Thank You Kind & Generous Friends for the Absolutely Warm, Loving, & Incredible Gifts!!  I love them ALL!! May my home always to be too small to fit ALL my friends ~ we were all packed tightly in ~

Then early this morning, off to the airport we go………Renee’s husband Mick whom I met while working with a few years ago after I first moved to WA is currently serving another 12 month tour in Korea.  Some of my readers will remember that Renee gave up some much *valued* time in the last few weeks that her husband was home before this deployment to be with me in the hospital & help with Jonathan during my illness in the fall.  Mick has been called home on Emergency Leave b/c his Mother is currently in Critical Condition in ICU back in his hometown in Colorado.  Renee was originally here to stay for 10 days, so obviously her trip was cut short.  Our hearts & prayers are with them!!  I care deeply for them both & Jonathan is incredibly fond of Renee, so needless to say, it was hard to say goodbye again!

 

as we impatiently wait for Mick ;)

finally……here he comes……

he spots his wife!

A very emotional embrace!  The joy of seeing your wife, yet under horrible circumstances.  Mick has been traveling for the past 36 hours trying to get to his wife, to get to his Mother Quickly!  They had just a few hours before the next flight, so we all went to lunch to help pass the idle time of the dreadful waiting.

Mick & Renee, we are praying that the Lord will lay gentle hands on Lucille & gives her the strength to hold on for her youngest son to arrive by her side!

Til Next time, my friend!
