On our way


So, we are in the plane. After the long ride to Fargo yesterday. It felt good to hang out at our super 8 hotel last night, get a good night sleep and wake up ready for our first long day of flights. For some unknown reason. Airlines seem to have the strangest connections. We start in Fargo, fly east to Chicago and then west again to California. But, that is how is works and there is that sense of relief to be on the plane and whatever was planned and packed will be. Luckily I remembered on the way to Fargo yesterday that I forgot to pack my drivers license. We had to make a quick u-turn, return to Canada and grab it from my purse (which I always leave at home)and continue on our way. It made the 3 hour trip a bit longer. But better that than being on the plane and remembering when it would be to late. Our friend that drove us had a much longer drive. He came with us and drove our vehicle back home for us. Thank God for all our friends and family that we so strongly rely on when we travel. It makes it so much easier to leave in peace. 
The other thing we left with peace was our house and all our possessions . God provided an amazing couple that turned out to be the greatest blessing. When we first started dreaming about this trip. The one thing that was the determining factor was something that really was out of our control. The perfect couple to live in our home while we travelled. I know we were given that couple as a gift. We are 100% at peace. 
Life is feeling a little surreal right now. Sitting in the plane, watching Dean and Miranda look out the window together, I am reminded of our last trips. Right now it feels like we are right back at it. We are at our best as a family right now. I am so excited to see what is to come. I want to cherish this time together. Every flight. Every early morning.
