  • Busy day...but starting to miss hubby!

    I've spent the day in Kansas City at the National Down Syndrome Congress Convention learning how to help my clients with Downs.  It's been a fun day...I always love to learn!  I got treated to a lovely dinner by the grandma of one of my clients and had some nice fellowship.  I networked with others, found some neat resources (including a fabulous devotional to give to parents of children with special needs!), and learned a great deal too.  This evening I went to the expo...yeahhh!!! Free stuff!! and met even more people there!!

    It wasn't until the drive back to the hotel that "it" felt weird.  I was done with my day, wrapped up and going "home" for the evening.  This is when I would typically call my dear hubby just to check in and let him know where I was, what I was doing, when I'd be home, etc.  The only thing is...I can't call him.  It was 9:30 on a Friday night....his folks were in bed, most of my friends were at church (WOLC) and the rest of the few people I called - answering machines!!  Down-and-out club, Party of 1!!!!  I have forgotten what it felt like to be "single"...and almost began to get a little sad when I started thinking about just how blessed I was with such a neat guy.  I thought about the things I really missed and appreciated about my husband...his voice on the phone, his smile, his playful goofiness, his encouragement, predictability, etc.

    For those of you who don't know...Curt is now "Partying with the Gypsies" and has already spent a day in Bucharest, Romania!  It's now Saturday morning...7:19 AM there.  He's probably eating breakfast at the hotel.  Then his schedule says they're driving to Varna, Bulgaria where they will minister with the gypsies in the afternoon!  I got a text message from him when he was in Munich, Germany transferring planes.  I'm sure he's having a great time...or at least I hope so.

    They will be blogging about their trip...I'll be sure to post it when they do.

    Please keep him in your prayers while he's gone.  Tomorrow I will go back to the Down's conference and then later in the afternoon fly to Oklahoma City to see my dad's side of the family -- one MUST keep busy while hubby is away!! 

    God bless ya!
