It's here

Today is the day. The anxiety of the past several weeks has now changed from the stressors of getting things done to the thrill of the adventure mixed with the dread of leaving for so long. It's absolutely amazing how much we take for granted. making a huge change like this does make you sit back and evaluate your life and the people in it. This last week we buried my great aunt Charlotte. She was and is an everlasating blessing to my life and the lives of those around her. I look at times like this and think we should seize the day at all times, yet our lifestyles are so busy and compete for space and energy. I truly believe the beauty of the world lies in our loving relationships. So as my children and I set out on this adventure I want all you special people to know that you are a blessing and we will miss you through the miles. I know we will all come back changed people. I pray for gentle spiritual growth and a lifetime of great memories.
