Unexpected Turns for the BEST!

Today started out to be a rather routine day. We walked Luke to school and met some friends at the park for playgroup. Little did we know the afternoon would take quite the unexpected twist in the most WONDERFUL way!

This morning around 11:30 there was a voice mail from our dear friend Kellie saying she had a 4-hour layover in the Denver Airport. We had no idea she'd be stopping through our state today, but we worked some magic, arranged for Papa to pick up Luke from school, and zipped up to the airport for a very special (and spontaneous!) chance to see Kellie. By 3:30, we were sitting at TCBY in the airport catching up. What makes this visit even more special is that she is Grant's godmother ... and they had the chance to meet for the first time!

This is one of those chance encounters that could not have been planned because some detail along the way would have probably made it not work out. We are so thankful and feeling so blessed to have shared those 2 hours with Kell on a random Tuesday afternoon. It is truly amazing the gifts we are given sometimes when we least expect them. Today was one of those days where "living in the moment" made for the best of memories.

Hooray for our impromptu visit with Kellie!
