Brian, Lydia and I all had a chance to fly out to North Carolina to surprise Kari early for her big 3-0 Birthday. Some friends of the Shaks were gracious enough to allow us to use their mountain cabin for the weekend for some much needed R and R and fellowship. Although we were certainly not the romantic getaway or puppy Kari was hoping for I think she enjoyed the surprise. It was awesome to spend time with some great friends and see a boy from LA try to drive a minivan up a snow packed road.
