Next Leg of our Journey Begins!

May 22,2011
Tomorrow we get on the plane that will take us to our girls' country. It is so surreal. We have worked so long and hard for this day to get here and here it is! We spent the weekend getting last minute things done but also with our other kids. Friday night we took the 4 little ones to Chuck E Cheeses. They had a great time and so did we. Saturday we attending the Cappies Awards: These are the high school equivilant of the Emmy's. The tristate high schools that performed plays all year were viewed by cappies critics and there was a big awards night at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati Oh. Our son Jordan was nominated for best actor, best ensemble and the play was nominated for best play. We are so proud to say that our son is the "best Actor", won "Best Ensemble" and won "Best Play". We are very very proud. He graduates on June 3rd and we coming back home for that so we will have 2 trips. Today we worshipped with our church family and then spent the day with the kids and getting things done. We will be here to get the kids to school in the morning but will head to the airport before they come home. So they are a little sad tonight. It is going to be so hard to be away from them for so long. Please pray for their safety and comfort and their healty while we are gone. Pray that there are no problems while we are gone and that the time passes quickly for them. Pray we have safe travel and that our girls are ready to love and accept us. Pray for no glitches in paperwork or any problems getting home in time for graduation. Pray for a quick court date as well.
We want to thank everyone who has supported us emotionally, throughout this journey. Also a big thank you to those that have helped us financially to get our girls home too. Without all of you this would not be possible. We serve an awesome, awe inspiring, gasp causing, mountain moving God! Praise You!
