"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Kalispell

We haven't seen daddy for almost 7 weeks and so we planned a quick weekend trip to Kalispell to meet up with him. it was a quick drive for him and he has loved that place since he was a kid and spent time there with his family. We also met there once when we were dating and it is our favorite place to get away too! My sweet parents used points to get us a nice hotel room at the Hampton Inn because we were going to stay at the cheapest place we could find. It was awesome. We did lots of hiking, swimming and relaxing. Maddie wanted to be in the mountains and kept asking if we could drive to the mountains to find some deer. She loves her daddy and doesn't let him out of her sight when he is around. She is such a fish and wanted to always be at the pool whenever we made it back to the hotel. The only complaint I have about the whole weekend is that it just wasn't long enough. As usual, it was so fun to see Steve and we can't wait until we get to be back together with him!
