Five Hours of Driving for One Awesome Spades Game

Was it worth it? Absolutely!! Our friends, Chris & Amy flew through Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago on their way to Taiwan to adopt their precious daughter, Ava! They had a layover for several hours, so Dan & I drove to LAX to spend time with them between flights. We got to know Chris & Amy through our church when we lived in Denver, and the four of us love to play Spades. It was always our game of choice when we were together. Amy had the foresight to bring a deck of cards in her luggage (love her!), so we played a few rounds for old-time's sake while we caught up with each other. The guys tried to make a come-back before the game was over, but the girls declared victory before we had to see them off on their next flight. Everything went really smoothly in Taiwan, and Chris & Amy arrived home with Ava this week - she is officially their daughter and an American citizen! We're looking forward to hearing more about their new adventures as parents of that sweet baby girl.
