In one week we will be on an airplane somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. As the time draws near I find myself bouncing between excitement and stress, giddiness and grouchiness.

There seems to be so much to do to get ready to go, both at work and at home. Tricia is doing a fabulous job of organizing at home while I try to spin multiple plates here at the office knowing that sooner or later one is going to come smashing to the ground.

There's kind of this weird plastic feeling as the reality still hasn't sunk in yet. I've looked at Grace's photo so many times that it's burned into my brain and yet it's hard to imagine her in my arms. I think part of that is due to the fact that my creative thought processes are drained and if my mind relaxes too much I fear that I'll forget to do something.

Bounce.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to God. I have seen His sovereign hand at work in such a direct way through this process. His benefits have been evidenced to us in bold ways. I love Him, and I love how He has manifest Himself in our lives the past 18 months.

So many people have encouraged us both with their words and deeds that I have become acutely aware of my need to serve and help others.

Well...enough rambling...back to spinning.
