Our new spaceship, bringing visitors from afar

With lil baby Ruth #2 on the way, we've been shopping around for a Honda Odyssey mini-van for the past several months. Long story short, God is SO good and is in the DETAILS, and we purchased THE Odyssey that fits us this week. Thank you, Lord! We traded in our faithful Mr. Car (Scotty's first vehicle, fresh out of college - 2005 Civic), for Mr. Van (also 2005). Scotty says he thinks the Odyssey looks like a spaceship, and little did I know it would soon be bringing home some very special guests from a distant land.

On Thursday night I thought Scotty was getting together with a new iPhone Developer buddy at Starbucks, but he was actually picking up my parents from the airport! When he got home he asked me to help him get something out of the car because he had ran a couple errands. I knew something was up. My thought was that he had purchased a sit-n-stand stroller I've had my eye on, but it was a gazillion times better than that. The spaceship door slide open and there I saw my parents. I was completely baffled!! This pregnant lady couldn't hold back the tears and bear hugs as my mom and dad climbed out of the van.

This weekend has been more than GREAT. What a blessing to have my parents here. This is the first time that they've been able to make it to Michigan since we moved here, and it has been so much fun to show them around our neck of the woods, give them the grand tour of our house, and to see Micah have a blast with Papa and Mama Sovilla. Thanks for making the trip out, you two! God is good!

P.S.  Did I mention that God is in the DETAILS?  I still can't believe that after having an unfinished downstairs bathroom for over a year, God gave me the energy and determination to complete it last week while Scotty was in Texas to surprise my husband.  I just have to laugh!  God knew my parents were coming into town to surprise me and He gave me the motivation to get things in order for our first B&B guests this week, unbeknownst to me. :-)
