road trip

We are away from home, on our first road trip with Zoralee! Well, with Zoralee outside of the womb. Portland is where we are at the moment, though we hadn't planned to be here. Jason had a job related test in Bellevue, Washington last week, and we intended to be there and then Sequim to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins for a few days, then back home. Now our time away is approaching two weeks, and we've had some unexpected sweet times! I'll write more later and show pics. Just wanted it to be known that we are alive and well.

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
