We're on our way! Two hundred four pounds of checked luggage with 6 laptops, 6 tablets, and so many endless treasures that they seem like Mary Poppins bags. Check. (literally) Two carry-ons stuffed with 4 computers, 4 tablets, 2 videocameras, and a shiny new projector. Check. When we arrived at the airport, my sweet mother said, "I'll just get the luggage out for you so you won't be so tired when you get there." She's a trooper! It's not a trip to the airport that she and I don't laugh about the time in 2010 when she and I tried to pull a 50 lbg bag out of the trunk together and when it got stuck on something, the handle pulled off and I went tumbling backward and ended up rolling across the pavement! I could hardly get up off the concrete for laughing so hard! I'm sure the man in the car behind us wished he had his video camera for that one. I would have been a viral video hit in minutes!
Today was my last day at school and as I sit here in the airport, it's hard to imagine that I was at school just this morning. It's been a busy few weeks trying to get everything ready to go and there were times I thought I must have been crazy to commit to this schedule. I think I recognized that same look in Jim's eyes more than once. But now that the work is done and we're waiting to board, we're so thankful for a little abundance that God seemed to throw our way 8 months ago. Back in Sept., when I booked our airfare, I stumbled across a crazy-cheap fare that saved us $800 each! There was just one hitch. It included a long layover in France and our airfare savings allows us a few days of rest and rejuvenation before heading onward to India. Next Monday, on June 6, we will stand on the beaches of Normandy and honor those who sacrificed to defend our freedom 72 years ago. A few days later, on June 10th, we will make the 2nd leg of our journey and travel on to India. We're excited about some wonderful new changes for Achiever Academy and look forward to sharing those stories with you soon. In the meantime, we appreciate your prayers for safe travel, rest, and good health as we carry your prayers and encouragement with us.
