Short, but sweet

That's how I'd describe this past weekend. Gino came in on Wednesday afternoon and left Sunday afternoon. It came and went so fast, and it was jam packed. I don't think we sat down to rest more than 2 hours the whole time he was here. That was to watch a movie.

We met with Lewis Thomas on Thursday for lunch. It was such a great visit. Lewis has been a huge part of Gino's life for many years now. He is one of the main reasons that Gino is where he is today. He was Gino and Silvio's sponsor for several years while they were at Casa Aleluya, and what's even better is that now Gino and Silvio are supporting Lewis' ministry!! Talk about coming full circle!!

We had a nice little visit with my dad and Jami, and each of my siblings on different days. I always hate to push Gino to much running around, but he insists on seeing my family. It is important to him and that means so much to me.

He was also able to meet with a local architect about some future work. It went really well and I was extremely excited at the possibilities!!

My 10 year reunion was Saturday. So that was a big day of catching up with old friends. I still can't believe I've been out of school ten years though.

Sunday seemed to go by so fast! In no time it was time to take him to the airport. It was so hard to say goodbye. I hadn't seen him in 6 months and here I was saying goodbye again?!? He made me walk away first so I wouldn't cry. But I did really good and didn't shed one tear. ;) I think that saddest part of it all is not knowing when the next time we'll see each other again will be. I actually had a thought: could it be that we won't see each other again until we're getting married!?!? I just hope it's not long. I miss him so much already!!
