Florida Here We Come

I hopefully will be able to catch up on blogging this week. In between working from home, getting our tax info together, and taking care of Zoe I haven't been able to post for awhile. Back in October when Zoe was 4 weeks old, Paul had to go to Florida for an install and planned to be gone a week. I was still recuperating and not able to do a lot at home yet (and I was not looking forward to staying by myself for a week), so at the last minute I decided to come down with Paul. We cancelled his flight and drove down with Zoe. It went pretty smoothly especially for an 11 hour drive. We arrived on Saturday evening, went to Daytona Beach on Sunday, and started driving back home on Monday. When Paul got to the job site, they did not have the phone line installed so there was nothing he could do. At that time, I was planning to return to work, so I was really disappointed that we could not stay the whole week and have some vacation time. But God had another plan (besides answering my prayer to be a stay-at-home mom). Our 10th anniversary is this month and I had been praying we would be able to go somewhere. And guess where I am? Florida. It took the company over 3 months to get the phone line installed. An added bonus is that Paul's company is paying for our hotel for a week even if the job is completed sooner. And our travel and most of our food will be covered since this is a business trip. It is such a blessing to see how God works.
The room we have is a spacious two room suite. There is a wet bar area with a microwave and refrigerator. Since eating out is difficult with Zoe's food allergies, we picked up a few groceries at Wal-mart. Also Paul is close enough to the hotel that he can come here at lunch. We tried to get the hotel we stayed in last time, but they were booked. That was somewhat disappointing, but we actually got a better rate and bigger room at this hotel. One again, it is such a blessing how God has worked this out.
Outside the sun is shining and it is nice and warm. Paul doesn't have to stay onsite late today so we are going to visit an outlet someone told him about. And with the early Daylight Savings Time, it will be light longer. It is such a blessing knowing that God is in control and that He does everything in His time. Maybe that should be the title of this post. :-)
