In 24 hours, we shall be on a plane headed for Seattle! Still much to do...packing, cleaning the classroom, grading one last set of final exams, saying good-byes. How am I going to survive nearly eight weeks without seeing my girls...my wife and daughter? That is going to be one of the worst parts of this journey. I suppose one consolation is some fairly intense time with my son! Thanks again to all who have supported us through prayer and/or finances. I don't really know what to expect on this journey, except perhaps to "expect the unexpected." One fun thing that happened today is that several of my students signed my helmut with different color Sharpie pens. Now, Zach and I will not confuse our helmuts, since we had the same kind. Also, we had a nice photo-shoot this evening with the family...by the lake, and Zach and I with the bicycles. Thanks, Jessica!
