Dawn

January 5, 2012

All is well!

We’re sitting the SFO International Terminal waiting to board our flight to Lima, Peru.

Sunrise over Mt. Hood

I stole a photo from Dad’s camera this past week… A beautiful view and a reminder of home as a new day starts…

We made it bright and early to the airport. Many thanks to my (six-foot-two-inch) little brother, Seth, for getting up at 3am, driving us to the departure gate, and surprising us with new traveling uniforms. (See a quick picture here since I can’t seem to get my iPhone photos uploaded yet.) : )

And many thanks to Darian, Bekah, and Ashlynn who gave us hugs and sent us on our way…

Wish us luck! If our first flight from PDX to SFO was any indication, we’re off to a great start: bumped up to exit row leg room with time and comfort enough to catch a cat nap.

xoxo

    Thanks for taking the time to take us with you. I’m super excited to see the photos and read about your adventure as you enter new lands.

    God bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you, in every new sunrise through sunset, in every country you visit, and may He give you peace. I’m praying you encounter King Jesus whose glory covers the earth as the waters cover the sea.
