Alden and I headed downtown DC, near Chinatown 
Mark and his wife Rhonda go back 36 years.....um really!
Alden and I were newlyweds, Mark and Rhonda were single when we first met.....
and then they married!
Mark's work brought he and his friend Brian to town ~
we had the BEST time getting caught up! We have sent Christmas cards back and forth for these 36 years....but this is the FIRST time we were together after all these years. And.....what a GREAT time we had.
We missed Rhonda, but hope to SEE her before too long as well. Listen to this amazing story: Okay, so Rhonda and I have been Facebook friends for a couple years ~ Thursday, Rhonda put up a "video" that Mark had done interviewing Mike Pence. (9:49 a.m.) {Mark is a broadcaster on Moody Radio} 1. We know Mark. 2. We know Mike Pence. 3. We now realize Mark is here in town. 4. I comment to Rhonda "ahhh, Mark was in town and we missed him". (2:13 p.m.) 5. Rhonda comments back that he is still here in town and will be overnight. (2:15 p.m.) 6. Great! 7. I send Rhonda another "comment" with our cell phone numbers and to have Mark contact us. 8. She sends back Mark's cell phone number. 9. Alden calls Mark (5:30 p.m.) 10. We set up a time to go have dinner. 11. Dinner with Mark and Brian (7:30 p.m. Thursday) How cool is that???!!!! Way to go Facebook ~ you certainly do keep us in contact!
What a blessing!
The Capitol blanketed in snow ~

team meeting after the game
There was an old telephone booth in the meeting room :)
the kids were so funny trying to get that this is where people used to make phone calls
