I write this feeling more rested than I have in a long time. I'm happy to report that I'm (gasp) even a little bit anxious to get back to our normal work load! I kind of miss the routine. However, this week of relaxing has been awesome!
We spent our first vacation day driving to Seattle to see a friend that did DTS Equip with us over the summer. We only stayed for one day (two nights), but it turned out to be just the right amount of time.
It's kind of a pretty drive
True to the stereotype, it rained the entire time we were there!
And true to the stereotype of Bellevue (where we were staying), we saw 856,398 Microsoft buildings. Holy cow.
We went to Mars Hill Church and saw Mark Driscoll preach
and spent the afternoon walking around Pike Place Market. The highlight for me was seeing the home of my favorite tea (which I feel I must acknowledge is actually my Mom's favorite tea and I've just inherited her love for it).
We spent the next day driving back to Montana, with a quick stop at the halfway point to see some fellow SBSers.
We have since gotten huge amounts of sleep, done some spring cleaning, and had a couple of movie nights with the small number of people who actually stayed on base for spring break.
One night (in spite of the nearly constant rain) we even had a BBQ and bonfire!
We also spent almost 8 hours reading 1 & 2 Kings, and 1 & 2 Chronicles out loud to prepare for next week's mammoth assignment.
Final quarter here we come!
