I took a little trip tonight with a few friends. Above would be Virginia, Sarah, Hayley (on the bean-bags), Spenser (on the laptop), and The Don just behind Spenser. We had a freakin' blast. More pics here.
But even though this was a just for fun trip to see S & S, I couldn't help but think of the lengths we sometimes go to just to love people. Williamsburg is barely over an hour away, not far, but when the weekdays drag on and your loved ones are somewhere out of reach, distance doesn't matter much. Sometimes you just miss people enough to plan a road trip.
Virginia texted me last week with the idea of driving up to see Spenarah so we secretly planned a group outing to surprise them. They thought it would just be me. I wish you could have seen their faces as they ran across the road and threw open the truck doors. Sarah actually looked scared for a minute.
Anyway, it was alot of fun. I thank God for those two and what it means to me to see them live out their lives for God. This blooming JGen family is something truly unique and the bonds just keep growing stronger. Thanks to Sunny D, Mean Train and Nerdy Hayley for being good co-pilots. Anyone who can put up with an hour of grape belches is a real trooper. That's gotta be a family thing.
