The Pause Before the Beginning

Hopefully you all read our good news from yesterday.  Last night we jumped into the car and drove across the mountains back to the Seattle area – our childhood homes!  We arrived just after midnight and quickly got to bed at my (Lisa’s) parents’ house.

This morning is busy getting our stuff a little sorted and seeing some family.  We will dive full on into ministry partnership – finding people to partner with us in ministry with prayer and financial support – starting April 22.  It will be a crazy whirlwind of busy-ness, mostly us traveling all over the country until the fall.

But, first, next week, on Monday, we are celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary.  Since the last two years have been celebrated in the rush of moving (moving OUT of Alaska in 2011 and moving INTO Africa in 2012), Matthew got on the ball and surprised me with news of a week-long getaway for just the two of us that he has been planning for months!  The grandkids are spending the week with very excited grandparents.  We are very excited for this week away to celebrate our marriage and past six years together!

So, excuse our absence and unplugged-ness for the next week!  Buh-bye!
