Planning A Trip

Last August, I was headed off to Aurora, Colorado to attend my 40th high school reunion.  I had never been to one before but thought, well I still have my hair, original hair color plus some grey, and all of my teeth.  Be interesting to see whom can match that.  (that's a joke son, a joke, you know a joke?)

But, my plans on seeing my two best friends from high school got preempted when my best friend from high school was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma.  What a shocker!  So my trip was spent entirely in the hospital cheering him up. 

So across the past year, he has healed completely, clean PET scans even.  Wow, God is good, isn't He?

In a few weeks I will be winging my way back to avoid the golf tournaments and the pub crawls, but will do the banquet definitely!  Hope to catch up with my other best friend from high school though this time!  Spend some time with an ex-step-mother.  Visit my old church a few times and see if anyone is still there from 40 years ago.  Do some painting practice and just unwind from what this year has become!  I definitely need rest.

And I have too much to think on.  Nothing has quite gone as planned this year.  Certainly it has been full of surprises but none of them in areas I was looking for!  So God and me need to do some talking.  I have a future to plan, a life to get on with and sitting around healing from injuries just is not my idea of going forward!  And what does that future does look like?

So, I got my airfare paid, a car reserved, accommodations set up with various friends and relatives.  It suddenly looks doable!  And the best part?  The end of August appears to be the cheapest time you could want to travel to Colorado!  Wow.  I like saving money too! :)

So very excited to see my tiny step-mother and her crazy niece whom cares for her.  And hopefully score more tales for this blog!
