Kettle Falls

I am in Kettle Falls at the moment. Drove up with Hannah to visit Izz and Jess and the fam for a couple of days. I’m now down to two weeks until I leave Lexus, and just over 3 weeks before I leave town. Franke did beautifully on the drive up here with no hiccups to speak of. I still need to have my tires rotated and balanced, and for some reason my parking brake decided to quit working... so that needs to be fixed as well. I also have the front bushings still to do, shocks, oil change and a few other things that need to be checked. Tonight will be the first time sleeping in the van :) and I feel like a kid playing fort all over again. Franke is all set up with the front seats swiveled, the top popped and the curtains drawn. After sitting for two years I think she’s happy to be loved and used again.

I can’t begin to say how much I love my family. It’s been way too long since I’ve been up here, and I’m so glad I’m doing this before I leave. My nephew is the greatest in the world! We were playing chase around the house and my heart hasn’t smiled so much in a long time. I feel full and happy and blessed beyond measure. God is good.
