We went to Kinasao today to help our dear Dahlsjos put us Christmas lights for the upcoming twinkle tour the camp is putting on. Cher kept the babies and I took the five. Which was right, because it was COLD! To be clear, I took the five, but at one point, I only took the four, because one of the five took all of us!!!
Whats that all about, am I right?! Yikes he is growing SO fast!
My first order of business was a walk down to the water. Just to gather my thoughts and try to accept the fact that Brady will never come back to this beautiful oasis of ours. It was such an us spot, and now, it is different. It is still us, but he is not here with us. A very different us. It just feels surreal.
We worked for a good handful of hours, and got to have lunch inside the retreat centre by the fireplace, which was a relief for all of our hands and toes.
The work day was set to end around 4pm, but by 3:30 I was toast. There was simply no energy left whatsoever. So I slacked in Stacy and Kelly’s truck for a little while they finished their final display for the day. While I waited and defrosted, Dekker texted me to go see the lights on top of the bathrooms. Little did I know he was the display on the roof of the bathrooms. And he positively insisted I come up and join him. I don’t like ladders, but he crouched on the edge of the roof and held my hands š He is an excellent specimen of man, this one.
We drove home as it got darker and darker, and we made it in time to drop Laela off at youth. Now, we are home, and everyone is tucked. Except Dekker, because his portion of the youth night goes a little later. But WOW am I EVER ready for bed. š„±
