Friday morning Nique, her girls and I left MA to drive her back to her home. The time is close at hand for Nique's husband return from deployment. We drove through CT, NJ, NY, DELAWARE (one of the few state I hadn't been to yet), Maryland, Washington DC and VA. We at dinner in Pentagon City. As we left dinner I looked up and saw an Navy Exchange gas station, been awhile since I had seen one of those:) We then drove by Arlington National Cemetery. it was too late to actually go inside but it was a stunning sight to see in the moonlight. We drove the rest of the way to to Midlothian VA.
Saturday morning we got to meet with a very dear friend that I have known online for several years. Theresa is a prayer partner and homeschooling mom. God truly has blessed me with some amazing friends. After leaving our meeting we drove through VA and into Tennessee. It was a wonderful day seeing God's canvas of art of color and hills. We were able to listen to Christian music and enjoy the Sabbath day.
We arrived into KY/TN rather late and I do believe it is colder here than in Boston when we left Boston. Today we will be doing some power cooking and cooking baking to prepare for Bruce's arrival. We also have a dresser, two night stands and a shelf to put up before I leave tomorrow. On Monday I return back to Boston and my family. My house is going to seem empty with Nique and the girls gone. It's been nice having them there over the last few months while she was waiting on Bruce to come home. The girls loved having playmates besides just their twin sister.
Guess I better get moving to get everything started:)

Sounds beautiful - traveling through so many different states. So sweet of you to take in a friend for so long, then to accompany her back home to prepare for her hubby's return (praise God for that!!). Praise God also for good friends!

I know that she is so thankful to have a great friend like you to take her and her sweet little ones in and help her get through the deployment. You are a great friend dez!!
