Surprise Folsom!

This past weekend we had a much needed semi-vacation to Folsom in Northern California.  We went up to surprise our friend Todd for his 40th birthday.  It was gorgeous weather and we fell in love with Folsom all over again.  Kasey, Kris and Jamie got a chance to dirt bike on the track and I had a chance to sit and be still, which is something I rarely let myself do.  It was a restful yet tiring weekend, filled with good laughs, conversation and especially good food!  We were even able to go to this awesome church in Folsom called Lakeside.  This church is a sister church of Ethos in San Diego and Mosaic in LA.  They had awesome worship and it pretty much sealed the deal for my dreams to move up to Folsom (simply a dream that we are assessing the reality to).  It was so nice to just sit and be with eachother for the 8 hour drive up and down, and throughout the whole weekend.  It's crazy how sometimes we don't realize how little we allow ourselves to miss the other when we are on fast forward through the routine of life.  This weekend I fell in love with Kasey all over again, and it was the best!  Things I learned from our trip are that it is okay to sit and be still.  Thats the beauty of vacations.  It is okay to fall in love over and over again.  Thats the beauty of marriage. Its okay to get caught up in the moment and dream. Thats the beauty of life.
