IN FLIGHT – PART TWO
So, we didn’t have a stewardess like the one in the YouTube video I posted. It was actually a rather uneventful flight. I slept all the way from home to Minneapolis where we found some lunch after our arrival and then made our way to the gate for our international …
LEAVING HOME
Emily and I were worried about how Nathan was going to handle us both being gone for a couple of weeks. They tried to diffuse the emotions by making funny faces all the way to the airport. I think they were both teaching each other a few things. However, as …
IN FLIGHT
I saved the following YouTube video which Amanda sent to me quite awhile ago. If this posts correctly, we should be in the air by now. It will sure be a FUN flight if we end up with an attendant like this one.
MAKING A LIST & CHECKING IT TWICE
Tuesday and Wednesday (Sept 22nd and 23rd) were spent doing all of the last minutes things we needed to do before we leave. Needless to say it was a whirlwind. Here are a few things on my list: *change Amanda’s phone plan so it can be used in Europe *go …

DRIVER’S LICENSE
Today was a BIG DAY at our house! Last Friday marked the end of Emily’s six month driving instruction with the learner’s permit. Today she went in to take the driving portion of the test and again scored 100%! YEA EM! The examiner said she must have had a great …
DIRT BIKE – HONDA
After earning enough money this summer to purchase a few things, Josh asked Tim to help him watch the newspaper and scour the internet for the first purchase – a HONDA XR100R dirt bike. Did I post a picture of this dirt pile in our side yard which will eventually …
YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS
I found the latest book by Bruce Wilkinson, You Were Born for This, a great book detailing the many ways one can learn to discern the Holy Spirit’s prompting with the author giving numerous tools for acting on those promptings. While the various terms used in this book weren’t familiar …
