Dana, my friend from high school and college, came down to visit from Thursday – Saturday. She had been traveling to Chicago for work for the past few months, and when I found out via Facebook, I told her she should come down and visit.
She came in Thursday evening by train. Sean was super excited to see the train up close at the station; it was his first time at a train station. We came home and had dinner, and I whisked Dana away to a game night with some friends from church. We came home and talked late (for me anyways) in the evening.
Dana had to work on Friday, so we headed to Mirabelles (YUM!) for some pastries. I dropped off Nat and Dana at Nat’s office and the boys and I headed home. I brought the hardworkers some lunch, and we were able to sit and have a good lunch together. Jonas was quite happy to sit in Dana’s lap and be fed cheese and strawberries. Ah, what a life! 
The boys and I picked up Nat and Dana at 5, and we headed to dinner at B-won. After the boys were down, we taught Dana how to play Dominion. I think she liked it, and it was fun to play together. We stayed up to chat together, and then went to bed.
Early Saturday morning, I took Dana to the airport. We had a chance to pray together and it was really sweet. Part of me still thinks of Dana the way we were in college, but I know that she and I are all “grown up”. It’s neat that we can still get together and talk. We were both encouraged how God was working in our lives and seeing that in each other. I’m excited to see what God will do in Dana’s life.
Oh, to end, I just wanted to say that Sean really liked Dana. I mean, how could he not? She arrived on a train, let him play with her iPhone, and left on an airplane.
