Why am I up @ 5am when our flight is 8 hours into the future? Anticipation? Stepping into the unknown? Excitement? Perhaps all of the above.
This is a first for us. Over the past 10-ish years, our travels have been focused in various African locations for medical relief and the initiating of clean water in villages. These trips have made their life-long imprint and have left us with a longing to return to this continent which captured our hearts long ago. But today.
Who would have thunk. . .that two young teens would journey to one of the two states where 18-year olds can legally marry, exchange vows and cigar bands (not really but makes for a good story) busted-broke but gleefully riding into the sunset sporting an old, dilapidated Ve-dub? Fast-forward.
50 year of loving–in concert with conflict, problem solving, resolutions, arguments, frustrations, compromise, anger, joy. . .and every other emotion known to man, all culminates on our knees. results in truly “knowing and being known.”
I would say “yes” again. And again.
Have a fantastic trip can’t wait to read all about it. Enjoy and happy travels.
Have a fantastic trip. Looking forward to hearing all about it. Was a dream of Chuck and mine but…. Happy travels my friend.
I am so sorry, Nancy. Sending love!

Thanks, Jan!!!
Can’t wait to hear all about your adventures mom!!
Thank you!!!How will we ever catch up?
Hey! I’m behind on reading! Just realized you probably had been writing and perhaps I wasn’t checking! I was right!! Can’t wait to catch up!
No worries at all!! Just so happy to hear from you! I am not blogging because I expect people to read. I am attempting to develop the habit of daily journaling so I do not forget the details of the various places we have visited.
I have been writing regularly, which in the past, has been difficult to do. I guess because I am so stirred, it has been easy to document 🙂
So excited for you both. What an amazing journey and a new addition to your testimony. Looking forward to updates and pictures. Continue to hold you both in our prayer’s.
🙏🏼❤️
