This last weekend we've been up in South Lake Tahoe with Tristan's parents, Beth's parents and brothers, and Fran, Kent, and Ellen (Tristan's aunt, uncle, and cousin). I feel pretty spoiled. We've been staying at the Mohagen cabin near the lake and playing on the lake every day. We've spent a lot of time laying on the beach and laughing a lot. We've also been using the Mohagen's boat to go wakeboarding and water skiing. Unfortunately the wind has been really strong and there have been white caps on the lake the entire weekend - so that has made skiing and wakeboarding a little tough. Looks like we're going out at 7am tomorrow morning to try to beat the wind and get some water sports time in.
We also went parasailing this morning! Tristan and Beth, Paula and Daniel, and Bruce and Ellen flew like a kite on a 1,200 foot rope about 600 feet into the air above Lake Tahoe! What a crazy experience! It truely felt like we were being flown like a kite. The view was amazing. It was very peaceful and quiet when we got up and started floating. I would recommend everyone to do this once.
Tristan, Beth, Paula, Fran, and Kent went on a 5 mile hike up Glen Alpine trail. It was really great and beautiful to be in the quiet of the middle of the woods.
It has been so nice being with family and enjoying each other. I think this is what makes me feel the most blessed - to have so many lovely people surrounding me and a part of my life. Laughter is so good. It is great to be encouraged and to enjoy the company of the people around you.
Next blog will be from Honduras! We leave Wednesday evening at midnight!!!!!!!!

read my stuff. or don't, it doesn't matter. i think our relationship extends beyond blog reading... but for this short amount of time that we can't chat on our cell phones for free, it migth be a fun alternative.
i will be praying for you guys, for the transition, for the amazing time you are going to have, the cool things you are going to learn, and the ways you will be changed. God is good. Know and live by that.
love you!
