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*
