Life is a Highway...

Three days, nearly 3000 miles, and eight states later, we are finally home. McKenzie and Josh are out splashing jubilantly in the pool, and I am slowly sorting through piles of mail, clothes, toys, etc. Along the way we spent time with our dear friends the Gordons and visited with my brother Garrett and his beautiful family. As I still haven't posted the pictures from the end of the season, I will just do an all-inclusive picture post later today or tomorrow.

Thank you all for your prayers. Once again, the Lord blessed us with travel mercies and brought us safely home. God is good!!

More later...

Today is Our Last Day

Today is Labor Day- the last day of the minor league season. We are almost done. One more game and this year's "race" will be complete. In two hours, we will hear the National Anthem played at a ball park for the last time this summer. It feels a bit surreal. But we are so excited to be heading home...see our family...go to our church...sleep in our beds...go swimming in 100 degree weather...and the list goes on and on. There is truly no place like home!

The last month has been an emotional roller coaster and has felt in some ways like the last mile of a marathon. I will try to explain more about that later. Through it all, God has shown Himself strong and mighty to save time and time again and we stand in awe of His power and mercy. I have lots of pictures of the last month and will try to post those tonight.

We are off to get ready for THE LAST GAME.

Have a wonderful holiday!!!
