We had our first visit from a Virginian loved one & friend! Jeremy (aka Jeremy Jumps if you are talking with Cameron or Taylor!) flew down from Virginia to take in a massive road-trip of Texas and to visit friends he has made through Young Life camps and staff. It was an amazing visit, one in which Rob was able to break out his guitar for the first time since leaving VA! Ok, he played for the girls once, but it has been a couple of months since he was able to strum and play alongside a friend. It was awesome hearing the guitar in our home again (now we just gotta get it into our new church! ha ha!). The best part of the visit was hearing how God has been at work in Jeremy's life, how he is looking at some Texas universities, and the thought of actually transferring next fall. He is feeling called to Texas and is prayerfully considering where God may be leading him. It's exciting to think about having a Virginian friend so close and it was such a joy to spend some time together catching up with one another and sharing our new church & home with him (as well as some good Tex Mex! Well, decent Tex Mex, we went to this particular location soley b/c of the Christmas decorations and the train! Just ask Jeremy about it!) Seeing Jeremy, however, did spark emotion in me over how much I miss beloved friends. It's just such a bittersweet time in life right now...
