We have lift-off!

We are writing you from the Houston airport... our last opportunity for some internet before launching into a new world of electronic uncertainty, as we get our new "everything" established (electricity, phone service, internet, etc.)and can get back online.  Our journey with our Father continues... so glad you've come along!

We are SO blessed by our family, who helped us pack, drove us to the airport, helped us with the many bags that have monopolized the majority of the last 5 days, hugged us, cried with us, pra*ed with us, and kissed us good-bye, for now.  It has been an active, draining, bittersweet, but exciting day, and we've only just begun!  The kids LOVED their first experience on an airplane:

"I loved it.  It was a little scary at first."

"It was almost like a roller coaster, but with more hype!"

"My favorite thing was looking out the window!  I saw houses that were ants and lots of trees and little cars!"

"My favorite thing was landing!"

I don't ever remember enjoying a flight more.

Enjoying one last serving of beef BBQ ribs before leaving Texas and the good ole' USA!

Thanks for pra*ing for us!
