Full Hearts Do Not Blog Well

It's been over two months since I last posted here. It's time we got caught up. Thinking about where to start almost makes me stop right here. But, one step at a time right? Let's see, we left off mid-August ... so, I haven't told you about my week in Costa Rica with Dodie and Jake and Hannah, yet. What a treat that was!

Since I was delivering a suitcase full of things for the Dodie and baby Abigail, I figured I'd better hide a few things in my suitcase for Hannah, too. I only had six days to win her affection!

Dodie knew that I really am not a very good tourist, and I was truly there to just let my spirit soak up some wonderful, refreshing time with my dear friends, but she couldn't resist booking a trip for us to the Butterfly Gardens!

Along with a whole greenhouse full of "mariposas" we also got to see some pretty cool monkeys.  The Glover Family monkeys led the way ...

And, we visited some breathtaking waterfalls.  I know I've said it before, but perhaps it deserves to be repeated.  When I prayed for a freshman roommate who would love Jesus and be a good friend to me, God really outdid Himself by providing Dodidra!
