Home Sweet Home

Just wanted everyone to know that we are officially home.

We left Friday morning at 5:45, crossed the border smoothly (dogs and all), and were on our way. We had a flat tire in the middle of Texas...it took us 3 hours to get fixed and then we were back on the road.

On the way down, Will and I took three days....we broke up the long hours of driving and spent some quality time together. We were so ready to get home this trip that we just kept driving. We ended up getting back at 3:30 Saturday morning.

It was a long day of travel and swollen feet, but when we got home we couldn't just crawl in bed. We spent about an hour walking around our house and yard (which is looking really good thanks to my sweet dad).

Both Will and I said that we would do it all again. It was an incredible summer...it was tough, but well worth it!

Thank God for America, we are beyond blessed to live here and to have the kind of lifestyles we have. Walking through Babies 'R' Us just isn't the same after living in Mexico and seeing how they live.

We are BLESSED!

So glad you're home. Can't wait to hug your neck! God is so good and I am thankful He protected you both ( you three!), showed you great and mighty things, and blessed you with a heart to serve. I know the ones you were with this summer saw "Jesus in the flesh". I pray the seed will take root and many will never be the same. See you soon.

Erin told me she ran into you, so I knew you were back, but I was still checking for your update. Welcome home! I know you were such a blessing to so many people you encountered this summer. I'll continue to pray that those you ministered to and loved will remain open to accept God's love. Good luck as the school year begins. Karan Anne, prop those feet up when you need to! Love y'all. Glad you are safe and back home.
