A five week journey, Part 5: Back to the Northwest


At this point, Korean Air allowed us to switch to an open-ended ticket, since we had no idea when we would be able to get back. We decided to go back to Winthrop for a while longer before heading back down to Oregon for Nicole’s wedding. On a side note, God is so good to surprise us with this trip at this exact time. I was heart-broken sitting in Bangkok wishing I could make it to these weddings, and God knew all along that I would be going to both! He is so good to bless us above and beyond our wildest dreams! The weather in Winthrop was still beautiful (albeit cold to us), and we enjoyed every minute of our time there. Aren’t slow days the most wonderful thing? Especially when you are in such a lovely place! 

We did a lot of raking...

After four days, it was time to leave the Methow Valley again and drive back down to Oregon. While in Phoenix, we made friends with some of Julie’s relatives who live near Newberg, and they opened their house to us for a few days. They are a game-playing family, too, so we had a blast hanging out with them in the beautiful Oregon fall. Is there anything prettier than a Japanese maple dressed in red? Really?

We got to watch Sarah ride. 
One day, we were looking for a winter coat for me and we passed by Brittany's house, so we dropped in unannounced. Fortunately they were home!!

And finally, the big day arrived. Nicole's wedding was wonderful, and it was so fun to see friends!
