Finally Back Home and LOTS to tell and show....

Well, we are now home from our San Diego trip!! All things considered...it was a great trip. The first week or so Don and I were at a YFC conference called Midwinter. The girls went to Aunt Debbie's to be with family for the week. Both Don and I were very busy with the conference. Mid winter is always so fun because we can connect with YFC staff from all over the country. There were around 700 staff there. The weather was pretty rainy and cold but the second week the weather was perfect.



After the conference we went to Don's home church and reconnected with a lot of friends over there. They had a wonderful luncheon for us and it was a great time to share our ministry perspective with them. We also had a lot of family around us the whole time we were in SD!! Don's sister, Debbie, and family live down there, Don's mom and step dad drove over and were a huge help with the kids. We also had Don's dad and grandparents drive down and Grandpa Talley celebrated his 90th birthday party with us!!



It was a great time seeing old friends!! These are some pics from our trip. The last day of our trip we were able to go to disneyland with the kiddos....more about that later...i will save those pics for another post as well!!(there are a lot of those!!)


These first couple pics are some YFC coworkers and precious friends!! It was fun hanging out with this group:)
