It's been a little while since our last post. Can't believe how June has just seemed to slip right through our grasp. Heck, next week is the 4th! We've been rather busy, traveling and going here and there. Unfortunately we still have not heard any word on our house-to-be, but we are keeping the faith and holding out that we will hear something soon.
But enough of that. Almost two weekends ago we went back to the Shire! Yes, that's right. You may remember how all of this ALEP craziness started back in September. This gathering was not official, not planned, just whoever was available to escape for a weekend of unplanned relaxation, conversation, and generalized merriment. And all of those it certainly was!
It's hard to capture the atmosphere we've come to love in this ALEP group. We all come from such vastly different walks of life, from vastly different parts of the country, even (a few traveled from as far as Virginia, Texas, and even Canada!). But what's so amazing about this time, these ALEP reunions, is that, for just a few days, there is no worry. No stress. No negativity, pessimism, or stress of any kind. It simply ceases to exist as soon as you see the signs welcoming you into the Shaker Village. The laughter, the cheerful conversations, the food (oh. my word!), the time we cherish and spend together...it's the best form of therapy that we can possibly imagine.
The next event is in April of 2016. While we won't be able to go for the entire weekend (these fun gatherings do cost money), we will definitely return for a day. Because even just one day is worth it!
Until next time! :)
