The first thing we notice is the warm sunlight shining high in the window - we got to sleep in! The room in this bed and breakfast wows us once more - we admired it only briefly last night, and fell asleep fast. We get our running clothes on and stare at the map, walk out to the trail's head, and admire the beauty as we keep a good pace down the trail. It's wide (like that road we ran on at Black Rock Forest) with soft turns. We talk about Caleb and Ethan, about the deployment, about retirement, about God.
The trail narrows as we approach the waterfall. After three miles, we don't feel guilty walking a little, cooled by the mist, awed by the height. I get a great picture of you posing in front of the falls.
We start running and you breathe a big sigh of relief. I ask what you're thinking about, and you say, "For a split second, I felt worry about the boys rise up, but then I remembered who they're staying with, and the worry just melted away..."
(You continue the story, answering who the boys are staying with....Love you.)

First time for everything!
We have binders full of correspondence from our courtship, Korea, OIF 1, and now we are venturing out into the paperless world of correspondence memories. We want to use this as a journal of our year, the small details, special moments, and difficult times, to remember the ways God worked in our lives during our time apart.
