Chocolate for travel

Two years ago we were getting ready to move from Virginia to Alabama. We were glad because we'd be close to family for the first time since we married, but sad because we were leaving wonderful friends and a church that was family to us.

Penny said she would miss me, but we'd stay in touch with phone calls and she'd come see me at least once each year (and she has!). I asked her if they might not be able to move to Alabama, too. Maybe Huntsville? She asked Randy, but he said there were no job openings for him in Huntsville.

Now Randy's employer is moving them to... Huntsville! Yay! I'll be able to see Penny more than once a year! (Steve goes to Huntsville once or twice a month, and I could ride with him to go visit Penny.) I just love the way God does things!

So Penny is flying down this weekend. I'll pick her up from the airport and she and I will do a little househunting in north Alabama. Penny likes dark chocolate, so I'm loading up on candy for our stay in the hotel. I still have to figure out knitting projects and books to take. And probably clothes. Because that kind of thing is important.
