Gabe leaves tonight for Portland and then Provo. He will be visiting the Bradys in Portland. They used to be our neighbors here in Haiku Village about 8 years ago and we visited them a couple of times after they moved to Virginia. Their kids were Gabe's best friends - I am sure they will have a GREAT reunion. Wish I could be there too.
Lori Brady (the mom, and the BEST neighbor I have ever had) invited my sister Alo over for dinner tomorrow night to see Gabe. I am so happy that connection between the Bradys and Alo will finally be made. They have alot in common - big dogs, bike riding, hiking...plus pretty me.
Gabe will then fly to Utah on Monday to attend Especially for Youth Program at BYU Provo. He enjoys EFY so much and it it totally worth the money for him to go!
If I had enough $ I would send Lakona too. (He's Gabe's friend who sleeps at our house about 4 nights a week - but alas $ doesn't grow on trees).
Gabe has spent much of the last two days cleaning his room and getting his things organized for the trip. I know he'll have a good time, make and renew lasting friendships and strengthen his love for family and God through his experiences over the next 10 or so days.
Ah to be 16 again!
