We had a wonderful weekend. We got back last night from visiting Feli (best friend for as long as I can remember), her guy Gabe & their dashing young one, Kevin (almost 4). We hadn't seen them for over 2 years so it was very special for us to be able to meet up before leaving for Guatemala. Feli's the reason I moved to the Dominican Republic back when I was 18. She's also the reason Christian and I are together because she played a very active game of matchmaker, ahem! Feli & I were daily outreach partners and before Christian and I had had our first kiss, Feli would tell me in between stores what mine & Christian's kids were gonna look like! Crazy but effective if I may say so myself. :) Feli arranged our first date & came along with us as I was so freaked out of being alone with "one of them". (The way I looked at guys at the time, with horror.) If there is such a thing as a completely loyal friend from whom you never hear things said about you behind your back, I would have to nominate Feli as 1st prize winner, she's great. Anyway, I could write a book about the adventures of Feli & Julie--hey, maybe I will! But for now I'll leave you with some pictures of our Blue Ridge Mountain hideaway.
