Some Days

do you ever plan for something in the future but secretly never think that day will come because it just seems so far away? i know i do. like when i was planning my month in Ireland, part of me never thought that day that i'd be getting on a plane to fly to another country would ever come...but it did. and then of course i didn't want the day to come where i had to come home.

today was one of those days. i had to say goodbye to a family that is full of the best people i know. 1 is 3, 1 is 1.5, and then their mom & dad. we were told about a month ago they'd be moving to an unheard of state and of course i tricked myself into thinking that this day might not come. that somehow God would just let today slide by and not let them go.

but no. it came. we said tearful goodbyes. and now i'm here.

and then there are some days that you can not wait for them to arrive and you wish they would be the next day. like the rest of my summer. we leave for Ireland in 8 days, then i have 3 weeks of camp when i get back. why can't all days be like those days where i just can't wait to go and do whatever it is i have planned.

some days we live for and some days we get through. today is one i am just trying to get through...

i will miss the Hanson family living 5 minutes away. but i know there are bigger and better things in Idaho for them. and God is there too. just as He is here.

Jude Hanson.

the littlest one.

with the biggest expressions.

you will still put a smile on my face.
