off to india


right now the preacher is on a plane on his way to chicago where he'll get on another flight that will take him to london.  it wasn't as easy as i thought it was going to be.  i thought i'd be able to keep my eyes from leaking, as my friend lisa says.  i had to have two good-byes.  one hug wasn't enough.  the second time is when i started crying, and the preacher said, "we're gonna be ok."  

i wanted to slug him!  i wasn't crying because i was worried about their safety.  i was crying because i'm going to miss him!  he and steve are in God's hands.  He's going to take care of them. it's just going to be weird not having him around.


the varmints have already staked their claims in my bedroom!  i had to lay down some ground rules....3 strikes and you are OUT!  the first time i have to tell them to be quiet, it's a warning.  the second time, it's out of the bed and onto the hard floor.  the third time, it's back to their own beds!

Well the good-byes are done. That had to be hard! It will be fun watching for their blog updates now. What a fantastic adventure they will have. I know you will miss him. Maybe this will make you appreciate him even MORE.
