An upgrade from Jesus?


On Thursday night we went up to Great Wolf Lodge to get some dead-of-winter fun. And we did. That waterpark is GREAT fun. The 4 of us spent the night and played and played. I highly recommend doing a mid-week, winter get-away if you can... even though we were just in Mason it felt like we went into another little world for 24 hours (insert all Mason jokes here).

We booked a special rate online. I had looked through the room possibilities and, ideally, we'd have a couple different sleeping areas since we have a baby whose bedtime is 7pm, a toddler who goes down by 8-830pm and us...who don't usually go to sleep quite that early. But, alas, as all you other families know -- sleeping arrangements on trips are never quite right. So, we made our peace with everyone in one room and lights out early. There was one particular suite with a loft that I'd thought would be great for us but was way unaffordable for a random night away.

You guessed it. When we checked in on Thursday we had been upgraded to the Loft Fireplace suite: a room that was a full $150/night more than anything we'd ever even think of paying for with the coveted loft. I immediately thought "Thanks Jesus. I know you knew that was the desire of my heart." It took us from a great-night-away-up-until-bedtime to just a great night away. God is so cool like that when you least expect Him.
