Time with Joe During and After the Bar

We were blessed to be able to have some time to ourselves (without the kiddos)

for a couple days during and after the Bar.

We enjoyed a stay at Hotel 340 in St. Paul, which reminded us of our first apartment.

Much time was spent studying and praying and trying to relax.

Home-cooked food helped much in the relaxation, since we didn't have to try and relax at a restaurant.

With the Bar behind us (Praise God!), we were able to go out on the town.

As you could imagine, this is how Joe chose to spend a chunk of the following afternoon as I window shopped.

The poor guy was beat!

We also spent a couple nights at Dan and Chacha's place in St. Croix Falls, which was heavenly!

And, we fit in a visit to a great military friend and her family 

who happened to be visiting MN from their current station in Germany!

It was wonderful to have Joe available and relaxed. 

Now just keep your prayers going that he passed! Thanks!

Love, Us.
