Holy Cow, we're moving to Paris!

That's a quote from my wife.  She said it about 5 minutes ago.  I guess it has set in.

I got the visas on Friday morning and headed back to NC.  On Friday evening, there was a get together with my coworkers as an official send off.  I'm really going to miss some of them.  We ended up running into several other friends at the restaurant that we wouldn't have otherwise been able to say "goodbye" to.

Unfortunately, my son has been battling a fever for the last several days, so we've had to cancel plans with people.  We have to put the family first, though.  The last thing we want is a 6 year old with the flu on an international flight!

Today was a great, but tearful, goodbye at church.  It was wonderful to feel the love as everyone converged around us to pray for us before we depart.  We have some truly wonderful friends there.  They will be missed while we are away.

We have 2 more nights in the US.  UPS will pick up the boxes we are shipping in the morning.  We have a few stops we need to make.  Other than that, we are ready for Tuesday afternoon.

My next post will be from Paris. 

Take care, my friends.  The big step in the journey has just started...
