In the Air

Steve is in the air, somewhere between California and North Carolina where he'll touch down in the middle of the night before finally landing in Washington D.C. early tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow night is Kids at Heart. It's been an absolutely exhausting couple of weeks of very late nights (including this one).

Tonight, before I fall into bed, I am pausing to be thankful for a few things:

The AMAZING team of staff and volunteers who are working tirelessly on our 7th Annual Kids at Heart fundraiser...so that we can raise money...so that The GreenHouse can continue. I have a heart full of thanks for them and much more I want to say (perhaps a blog post later in the week).

My favorite person - my husband - who has been such a wonderful helpmate over the past several weeks. We have POWERED through so many tasks to get to the point where he is now on a plane heading off on this adventure. I love him and will miss him terribly while we are apart this week.

My God - who is already taking care of us! Tonight, my neighbor from across the street walked over and asked if she could bring us some food. She didn't even know that Steve was leaving tonight or that I was going to be alone for the week or that I have an enormous event for The GreenHouse tomorrow. But God did. And, so she carried over two plates FULL of the most delicious Cambodian food. So dinner is already prepared for the next few nights. What a huge blessing.

Exhausted, but thankful.

So thankful for the many blessings our God is giving you, your family and those you care about. Wishing we could be there tonight, but trusting you are having an amazing event. Hope you post about it so we can hear the details!

The event was amazing as it always is-but loved Sofia's so much and having the GreenHouse kids serve us appetizers and dinner was very tender. Hope you get a moment to post an update on Steve and his first few days as an intern in DC.
