We're off!

AHHH!!!! I've been thinking about posting all week, but it's been so crazy around here! Life just keeps happening - we've had a great last couple of weeks, friends and family have rallied around us in amazing ways, and God's love and blessing have been pouring down. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You know who you are and when I get a chance in the next few weeks, I can't wait to share how you've all blessed us!

Well, we leave in about 30 hrs. That means I only have 30 hrs. left to wrap things up around here. It's definitely crunch time.

We leave at 9:28 am on Wed. morning 7/01 and return at 5:47 pm on Friday evening 7/10.

I think one or more of our family members will update the blog while we're gone. I know I always love to read the "in-country" updates, so hopefully riceandpeas won't disappoint! :)

And, again, we would love your prayers as we head off - for health, safety, and a million other little things. Especially for our kiddos - the ones here and the one there. My heart aches for all 5 right now - I just can't wait until I can cuddle up with all of them on the couch, smooshing me, while we read a book or watch a movie. It's the simple things, isn't it? :)

So, until then....

:)
