Just like old times!
Not really old times :0 ;)
We were finally able to go visit LeeAnn and Brian and their family. We had that familiar feeling, even though we were traveling a different direction than we used to, that we have missed for many years now. They used to live in Chewelah and Valley, where we were able to visit on special occasions a few times a year. Then they moved to Texas for several years and we never got to travel that direction. They missed us so much that they have moved back to our area, living in Wenatchee. Okay, maybe they didn't move to Wenatchee because they missed us, but we are so happy that they are closer and that it is a direction we can travel often.
Our children are older and wiser?, and include some extra children and grandchildren, and it was interesting to sense that difference, but we all love being together.
This was a visit that we wanted to do before our trip to Seattle. Alas, we have got it done. But now we just want more! Isn't that the way it is!

Medical Madness
During Priesthood class yesterday the men asked Terry to explain what would be taking place with this trip to Seattle. He told them something like this:
"Elaine has been called on a medical mission and I am to be her companion."
I thought that was really clever. I guess we will be serving in the Seattle, Washington area for approximately 3 or 4 months and then we will be transferred to the Royal City, Washington area.
This mission prep has begun. We are trying to make ourselves ready. It seems to be going well for now.
