Nice visit

You know when you meet someone and you just click? I had never met the woman who came to my house yesterday, but by the time she left, I felt like I had known her forever. We had a wonderful visit, I cooked lasagna, everyone had dinner, and then we talked until 11 or so. They had to get going this morning. I just had a terrific time. And their kids were so quiet compared to mine! Of course, they have three girls and one boy, so I'm betting that's part of the difference. The kids all played with the Wii and had fun hanging out together, too.

All the work cleaning the house and cooking and everything was inconsequential when I think about how nice it was to share our home with this couple, even for only one night. Maybe next time they're on furlough (in 4 years) we can do it again. Until then, we've always got the internet!

Busy

We're expecting some friends shortly. Actually, we don't know the wife, and we haven't seen the husband in years. And we've never met the kids. I saw this lady's name on a Mr. Linky and thought, Naw, that couldn't be. So I emailed her. Turns out, Hubby and I grew up in the same church as her husband. They are now missionaries working in a camp in Alaska, and they're on their way to the Baltimore area to visit some of their supporting churches.

So we agreed to let them spend the night here on their way to Baltimore, so we could visit for a while, and let all eight kids play together. This means I have been cleaning and organizing like a mad woman for the last 30 hours. They will be here any minute, so I won't have much chance for blog hopping and commenting today. But I'll tell you all about it later!
