Although being far away from family is difficult, living in Costa Rica does have its advantages. It's incredibly accessible from the States, especially Atlanta which is where we are from. Our first short-term visitors for the year arrived the week before Thanksgiving. My sister and brother-in-law came down to celebrate their 5-year anniversary as well as celebrate Thanksgiving and spend time with us. I cannot fully express the joy that I felt in their coming. It was a wonderful time or rest, renewal and relationship deepening. We spent many hours just laughing and talking about life, family, God and everything in between. It was such a special time. During their visit, we finally went to visit volcano Arenal. I can't believe it's taken us almost 3 years to go visit for the first time, but we were very excited. I had hoped to get to see more of the volcano, but it was raining almost the entire time we were there. So, we spent long hours reading books, talking and resting. I think the Lord gave us the best, and what we needed most which was rest. Here are some pictures from their visit.

This is pretty much what we saw of the volcano for 2 days
Jenn took a surf lesson on one of their last days here. She even got up on her first wave!
