The night before the holiday......

It's important to have moments.

It's important to be intentional.

I am trying to consistently do both....often a battle, but sometimes I am victorious!!

The night before I left for the states, we had a fire together, roasted some marshmallows....and this was the view I woke up to in the morning.....better than any sunrise, in my mind!!

 My dad, too, is having a few moments of his own in one of his favorite places in the world: Lake of the Woods!!  Fishing with his friend, building decks, laughing.....and he is wearing the pants I bought him a few years ago that he completly scoffed at, at the time, and now they are in every picture!!!!
