a break in the rain

it rained from Monday through Friday. Saturday there was a break in the rain, so Shawn and I decided to take advantage of it. We walked from our place to the house in which he used to live. We hung out with the couple who still lives there from when Shawn lived there. They both had been on both of our hearts and minds, so we decided to stop in and see how things were going. Seems like there was a good reason for it. We chatted for about an hour and a half, them doing most of the talking. They're dealing with a few things that we had no idea about, so we know how more specifically to pray. Then we headed down a few blocks to a place up for rent. Cute loft-type place. High ceilings. Kind of small. We're not looking to move. It's just fun to see what else is out there. Then we walked downtown. Then we walked to the library. Shawn read Christianity Today magazine. I found a Poetry magazine and then checked two books out about being a writer. 'Bird by Bird' by Anne Lamott. We'll see what happens.

Then we walked back to our place. It was refreshing to be outside, with no rain. To spend time with friends. To get some reading in. A good day in the life of the Latourelles.
