One Year Ago Today



A year ago today Mark, Hannah and I were hiking at Kings Gap. This was the first time we were ever there. After some hiking we went up to the Mansion to look around. I got out of the car and turned around to get my cell phone. I wasn't sure why, I just felt like I needed it. Strange because at the time Mark was about the only one who called me. Anyway we went out on the stone porch and saw this beautiful view. I thought how fitting this is Kings Gap, because it looked over God's beautiful creation. About the time we stepped back inside my phone rang. It was R.M. from Holt. I said "It's great to finally talk to you." We had been talking to each others voice mail for the last couple months. She said yes and then the words I won't forget, We have your referral. What?!? I didn't expect to hear those words for at least another two months. Then she proceeded to tell me about our little guy. Well the whole time Mark is looking at me crying and wanting to know what is going on. I'm trying to listen to everything R.M. is saying and also telling him at the same time. We were both in shock. We just couldn't believe it. Both of us were in tears and we didn't want to scare Hannah who was wondering why we were both suddenly crying. All I could think of was here we were at Kings Gap looking over God's glorious creation and we just recieved a blessing from the King, we had another child!
