"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." 1 Peter 3:15

Mixed Emotions

It's the night before we fly out and I am a bundle of nerves. I am excited and ready to go, but sad and stressed too. We have been saying "good-bye" to family and friends for two months and that really does take a toll on the emotions. Then, being delayed for minor things has been frustrating, but in a way good, helping us to get more prepared.
We all are feeling pretty ready to go. After living for 6 weeks in suitcases, it's time to get settled again. We've been traveling a bunch too, so it is also time to settle again and get used to being a family again, without living with anyone else. Not that it has been bad living with my in-laws, it's just been a bit hard on everyone. They are used to us not being around all the time too :). 
Time to re-establish rules and boundaries.
We are excited to begin our adventure in Greece. Ready to see our apartment and start getting settled. We are excited to start exploring Greece and taking in all the sights. We are also excited to make new friends and try new things. Kayla and Elijah are super excited to stop sharing a room and space. It has been hard on them, causing more fighting with constantly being in each others faces.
We are thankful for the love and support of our family and friends. We are thankful that they support us in this adventure and we look forward to some of them coming to visit us in the next three years.
We are praying God's will for our family, that other's may see Him in us and that we continue to grow stronger in our faith. Trusting Him for exciting things on our new adventure :)
Stay tuned...I will try to update this blog more often!
