Up, up, up, up, up, up, up...down, down, down, down, down....up?

You know the story, it's a roller coaster. Some days are more fun and hopeful than others. Today, the coaster took a dip. So, we busied ourselves with figuring out rental car and hotel accommodations. It feels good to get the last logistics worked out and be ready for anything, at the drop of a hat.

Since we don't yet have a rental car, we took a loooooong walk today in the Sacramento heat to go to the bank and the grocery store. This allowed us some much needed time to regroup this afternoon. It is increasingly important for us to check in with each other throughout the day so we know when hugs and hope are in demand.

We got a fantastic dose of fun last night though! One of Tiffany's dads was also in California this week and brought two of the three "blonditos" (our awesome nieces) up to Sacramento to visit. We had a celebratory dinner for his birthday and stored up some additional support to keep afloat in these stagnant waters. It's a relief to hear from folks right now and know that we're all focusing our positive energy on the same thing!

Happy smiles to drag that coaster car back up tomorrow!
