One thing I told Dillon while we were in Israel was "I miss our small group" and "I hope people don't forget about us". 2+ weeks being away from Texas felt more like 2 years! Just as traveling opens your eyes to a new world view, it also opens your eyes to the blessings in your life- for me anyway.
Since returning, we have been blessed to spend lots of time with our family and friends and we love it! We had a couple of nights to recoup and then we were ready to see everyone and share our stories.
Our first week back we had Mexican food thrice - at On the Border Saturday with the Taylors, Chuys on Monday (a holiday off yay!) with the Geyers, and then Blue Goose on Tuesday with our bible study group. We also had Dillon's family over to give them some Israel goodies.
Our second weekend my family made the trip to Dallas, bringing 2 important packages with them- Polly and Penny! We are so glad our dogs have a place to be spoiled when we need a break. It was a short but sweet (as always) weekend with them, and of course, shopping and eating were the essentials.
Last night we went dinner with friends to Eatzi's downtown then heard Tim Keller (author of The Reason for God) speak at Park Cities. There was a huge turnout, and a great message was given about having peace. If you are interested in listening, it is worth your while, click here: http://audio.pcpc.org/archive/entry/5983/
While we LOVED our trip, we are also thankful to come back to our friends and family, and resume life with them~
(I will continue posting about Israel but wanted to document this month before it's gone)
