		<description><![CDATA[:) I can&#039;t wait, too...you and Julie were such a happy surprise, and Allume wouldn&#039;t have been the same without the two of you. I&#039;m so glad things worked out for us to connect and then have coffee, too. (Seriously, that coffee shop has got to be my all time favorite!) :) Blessings, sweet friend...I look forward to our next hug and chat!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So just up front...you made me smile so much this weekend. (Which I was thinking that it&#039;s funny we refer to it as a *weekend* cause it was more like half of a week. Anyway. ;)) I will gladly embrace the title of #AllumeHotness...that was a funny and special memory that will always make me smile. You bless me, friend...and if you&#039;re ever in Chicago, YES! I will gladly make the trek into the city. :) 

And Uganda...yes, Uganda. And Sole Hope. And the way that my heart hasn&#039;t stopped bleeding for these children. It still brings tears to my eyes. I&#039;m praying about blogging a trip for them...I think it&#039;s something He is asking me to do. Thankful. :)]]></description>
