Mimi Waiting for the Metro
August 18, 2008
I thought our blog needed a bit of humor, so here’s a picture of Mimi waiting for the Metro. Our apartment is just a block away from the Braddock station in Alexandria. Mimi rides to the Chinatown station and catches the line to Union Station. From there, she walks about 4 or 5 blocks to her office. Notice the flip flops? These are her Metro shoes; the heels are in her bag.
I’m doing Passport (ACU Orientation) today with Colin, then tomorrow I fly to DC to be with Mimi for 2 or 3 weeks before leaving for Beijing on September 5. We’re looking forward to our time together in Alexandria. We live only 3 blocks from King Street in Old Town, and the shops, restaurants, and sidewalk coffee shops are calling our names.
We’re thankful for everyone’s thoughts and prayers. God’s plans are being fulfilled daily, and we’re merely moving forward in His grace. Pray for our children; leaving them is hard on both sides. They’re doing really well, but we’ll all miss being together at ACU.
