Departure ~

 
Well, we flew out Friday night ~
 
 

And to say I was completely blown away with the folks
 that turned out on a cold Winter's night to send us off.....
would be the understatement of the year!


 
I was so close to tears the whole night,
well, who am I kidding....I totally cried
 
How could I not with the generosity of the love shown to our little family.
 
And every time I would looked over at my kids,
and saw them smiling and crying and laughing
and saying their good byes, I was reminded.
 
I remember praying,
 that the most important thing to me
was that all the children would be full of joy and peace
 at this huge move. 
 
That there would be less sadness and grieving and frustration at this move ~
and He answered my greatest prayer
 
Because they all, after 2 yrs of preparation,
were ready and wanting this move.
No one was being dragged along against their will.
 
Thankyou Lord!

Someone was in 'Vehicle' heaven on this trip
We traveled by plane
monorail train
Ferry
Bus

 
And by Sunday noon,
we had arrived!


 
Now we are jetlagged,
and slowly adjusting to beautiful
tropical, warm *sigh*
