concert central and goodbye

This past week Hillary and I went to a free outdoor concert in Ridgefield Park, which is ~an hour southwest of us. It was a beautiful night with clear skies, no humidity, and temps in the low 70's. (Summer in Ct is amazing) We got there early, had a picnic dinner, and had seats about 20ft from the stage. We saw the band Over the Rhine and they put on a spectacular show. The excellent weather, stunning performance, and quality of music all came together as an wonderful experience.

The downer for the week was the departure of close friends who we serve with at church. Mark is taking a job with a church in SC and it is all very exciting, except for their moving away. Over the past year we've been able to share a lot of life and were looking forward to more of the same. But the coming and going is part of life and something to mourn and celebrate. We're thakful and somewhat sad. Now the adventure continues of opening our lives to new and different people.
Last but not least, we'll be out of town in WI, MO, and KS next week so I won't be blogging.
