This past Thursday and Friday thanks to a "free" hotel room Robert and I took a well overdue mini-vacation to Solvang, CA. If you have never heard of it Solvang is a small, quaint Danish town just outside of Santa Barbara in the mountains. There are shops and wineries, an Ostrich farm and one of California's famous Missions. The true appeal for us was a little down time. At home it seems we are always running, Robert has been busy at work with trips and our "Operation Christmas Love" (our church is helping
local families who are having difficulty this Christmas by providing gifts for their children). It was nice to have 2 days for just the 2 of us to spend time together. We walked around the town, had sausages and ableskivers (small little pancake balls with powdered sugar and raspberry jam)!! I think we both realize that what the new year has in store for us is going to keep us very busy. A time of change for our whole family. A push on our schooling, starting to fund raise, getting KC ready for graduation, etc. We are taking this holiday season slow and easy, ready to hit the ground running come Jan 1, 2009.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them.
