Judith's friend Addy invited us to go with them on a hike to Patapsco State Park. The boys had to go with me to a work meeting and then we attempted to meet up with Judith and her friends, BUT because we didn't get good cell phone reception we weren't able to connect with them and we ended up taking a different trail. There is a pretty swinging bridge over the Patapsco River. We stopped for a picture. Eventually, we found Judith's group.</div>

Mike and Ezra went on a Webelos weekend campout. On Saturday, I took Judith and Jonas to the Maryland Science Center. Unbeknownst to me, it was also the day of the Baltimore Marathon so traffic was horrendous. The up side was that there were lots of things going on at the Inner Harbor, including Blue Angel fly overs. Here they are in the background of the picture.</div>

Jonas kept wanting to do the hike to see the waterfall that Judith had done a few days earlier, so we took yet another trip to Patapsco State Park.</div>

So I recently started work at a wonderful, Christian non-profit called The Well. The Well brings in women from a low-income community called Curtis Bay (just south of downtown Baltimore) and mentors them for a year. They meet weekly with a mentor who guides them in life planning, they attend weekly classes on a variety of topics from Mental Health to Communication, to Finances, the volunteer 2 hours a week, and they attend elective classes for computer skills and more. I have been helping out in an Office Manager position. In October, The Well hosted a Better Together Gala to raise funds. It was a wonderful event!</div>

We attended a Trunk or Treat at Bay Area Christian Church. Judith was Princess Belle, Ezra was Han Solo and Jonas was supposed to be a headless man, but our Pinterst costume was kind of a fail so he was basically just a guy in a giant trench coat.</div>

By about 3PM it had started to sprinkle again. Not too long after that, an announement said that Howl-O-Scream events for the evening were canceled and not too long after that, another announcement told us that the park would be closing early due to an unexpected change in Hurricane Matthew's path.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The breeze continued to strengthen and was very pretty gusty overnight. The hotel where we stayed at in Newport News lost a few trees. Some fences in the nearby neighborhood were blown down, and at one point there were lanes on the interstate that were closed due a large tree that had fallen on the roadway.</div>

We got a little wet at Busch Gardens, but it wasn't too bad until the last couple of hours. We definitely got more adventure than we bargained for!</div>

Graduation day was rainy, but the next day dawned beautiful. Mike scurried off early in the morning to take care of out-processing paperwork while I enjoyed a morning to myself. Then, after lunch we lazed on the Pensacola beach for a few hours.</div>

We almost happened into seeing a historic train coming into town. There were many train enthusiasts milling about waiting eagerly for the train's arrival.

<div style="text-align: center;">
So we headed up the hill to see the Roanoke Star and a nice view of the city.</div>

I helped Judith and Jonas with their <u>I'm a Christian Now</u> books. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jonas prayed to ask Jesus to be part of his life back on November 29th of 2015. He prayed at church and then had some conversations with us at home. He had a desire to read the Bible and had some attitude shifts citing, "that's not what Jesus would want me to do". He began his book, but didn't complete it. When Judith began hers Jonas became very interested in finishing his.</div>

At AWANA, if you completed your book, you got to throw a cream pie (aluminum pie plate with whipped cream in it) at two of the leaders. Judith's pie missed, but she happened to be in the line of fire for some flying whip cream and got hit! I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but she thought it was hilarious.</div>

The kids wanted to make me breakfast in bed for Mother's Day, but they were unsure about some of the necessary steps. In order to not mess anything up and enable them to be completely self reliant on Mother's Day, they wanted me to make a step by step list of how to make each item. Jonas was in charge of cooking the scrambled eggs. Ezra made me toast and banana bread (I made the banana bread before hand and had it in the freezer so all he had to do was pop it in the toaster). Judith was in charge of coffee and water. I was so proud of them and touched by their efforts. AND it was good!</div>

One of the main things she wanted was her own Bible. Judith had been talking about a relationship with Jesus for a long time. She would ask good questions and we would have lengthy conversations but because of her age I kind of kept saying, "I'm glad you're asking questions and I love talking with you about this. Jesus is talking to your heart. Let's talk about it again soon." On our way to the National Arboretum she noticed the cross hanging on my rearview mirror and the conversation began again. She said she was ready but again in an effort to wait a bit longer I said, "If you're really ready, let's do it at prayer time tonight". Thinking she might not remember unless it was real I didn't mention it, but at prayer time she asked Jesus to be a part of her life! So yes, she was excited to get her very own Bible. </div>

This was the last picture I took before my phone was stolen. I set it down outside while I got snacks out of my backpack for the kids. When we packed up to leave, I walked off without my phone. I remembered about 10 minutes later and went back for it, but it was already gone. We tracked it from DC, to Frederick, Maryland, to Upper Marlboro, Maryland and miraculously it was returned to me at a McDonald's south of DC. Thus, my sanity was restored!</div>

Muphy's Law of the Military, as I so lovingly refer to it, began in full effect just 3 days after we said goodbye to Mike. It states that whatever can go wrong, (while the military member is deployed, TDY, on 24s, on nights, on shifts, etc) will go wrong.</div>

When we returned from Great Wolf Lodge, the kids went back to school and I began to prepare for Winter Storm Jonas (aptly named) which promised to bring historic snowfall to our area. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought this would be a fun way to measure the snow. It turned out to be not as impressive, because I neglected to realize that our backyard is under the cover of the trees, which of course, mitigated the snowfall accumulation.</div>

God must have known we needed a little extra time to say goodbye because just minutes after the kids and I got on the road for home, Mike called us to say he was having car trouble. We turned around, got the car to a shop, and spent the afternoon at Great Wolf while it was being worked on. Then, we said goodbye for real, and headed home.</div>

Music Row was especially cool to me. I've never had musical aspirations, but being there among all the studios made me feel like I could just walk in, record a song, and have a #1 hit. I can only imagine how that vibe and energy affects folks who really have dreams of making it big!</div>

The Grand Ole Opry was a little disappointing to me. It was really hard to find and get to. It seemed tucked away behind the Gaylord Hotel (which WAS super cool), and the mass mall complex of Opry Mills. I didn't really know the history of how it moved from where it started at the Ryman Auditorium to the commercialized venue where it is now. Had I done my research my expectations would have been different and maybe I would not have been disappointed. It was still cool to see it though. (Once we finally found it...) </div>

Not wanting the kids subjected the craziness of Honky Tonk Row on New Years Eve, we went back to the warmth and comfort of our hotel room for a few hours. Then we loaded up, drove back downtown and sat in the parking lot of Nissan Stadium directly across the river from the main stage to ring in the new year.</div>
