It's Departure Day! :)

As I type this, K8 is taking her SATs. She should be finishing up! I'm just waiting for her to text me. :)

The vehicle is packed, the global phone ready for programming--which by the way, is a normal, old flip-phone that replaces her phone using the same phone number. So, please don't text her or call her. She'll text me and then I will relay the messages. We are charged for every text and obviously phone call. :)

The maps, GPS, and airport info. are all set, and our EZPass is prepped for JFK. Woohoo! She'll read this blog later so I can share: her love notes are all tucked away in various inconspicuous spots, both carry on and checked. She'll read her first love notes on the flight to Amsterdam. :)

Keep posted! I'm excited to trace the hand of God and hear how He moved in mighty ways! Last night was the first sign she showed of any anxiety. She said she's never felt so anxious. I believe once she is with the group--the butterflies will flutter away. At least, that's what I'm expecting for myself, anyway. ;)

Thank you for checking in and a greater thank you for supporting and praying!

  1. I'm SO excited!! We're all praying for K8 and for you and the family at home. :) I was thinking about the butterflies, remembering having them the night before taking the SAT's; I can't imagine taking them *and* going to Uganda in the same day! K8 is amazing!

    I hope there are lots of pictures to share after she returns.
