Sent out.

Yesterday was incredibly hard to say goodbye to our church family and friends.  At the same time my heart wished for every Believer to be sent out like us to the next adventure God has.  We felt loved, encouraged and supported.

In the morning our church family gathered around us and prayed.  I wish I had a picture of that, as it will be a cherished memory forever.

Then we went to the house to hand over the keys:


We love The Perkins Family and are thankful to be on this journey together!

Then it was time to say goodbye.  Ick.  It was not easy.

This family is hard to find where ours ends and theirs begins.  Just thankful for technology, is all I have to say about that.


 Lily was having a hard time… we all were.


Cheered out of the driveway.  Everyone should leave their family like this:


After all that emotion I ran into Target to get J some socks for the plane.  These socks screamed:

He agreed and decided to see how they worked.

He's hot!

He knows it.

We needed a laugh.


Now in San Fran awaiting our plane.
