Bon Voyage!

 If you've read my blog for any length of time, you might have picked up on the fact that sometimes I complain mention that we used to travel A LOT, but in the last 6 or 7 years, I can't get past the border states of Missouri.  But tonight, yes, at 1 a.m., I am taking a little break from packing my suitcases because we are TRAVELING this week!!!!  And beyond just the usual places we go!

No, we're not going to Hawaii ... but we MAY actually see a palm tree or two! 

We may glimpse the BEACH!! 

And Lord willing, we will get to travel through some states that - while I've been through them before - I haven't seen in YEARS!!







 We are going to take 3 Juniors & Seniors from our Christian school on a "College Trip" to visit 2 Christian colleges and have some fun along the way.  The fact that we get to take OUR KIDS along too is a bonus!!  With 6 kids in tow, I think I'll feel a little Duggar-like; however, they are all good kids and I foresee having a great time together! 

Where are we going?  Well, first, we'll be heading to MY HOME:  Knoxville, Tennessee.  My parents' church (the one I grew up in) started a Christian college and seminary in 1992 ... the same year I graduated (!!) from another Bible college.  As an added bonus, we'll get to see my family briefly.

Then on Wednesday, we'll head further South into FLORIDA - honestly, a state I never thought I'd ever find my way back to.  We'll be in Pensacola for 2 days!  How convenient to have a student interested in visiting a college in such a vacationy place!  :) 

We'll be traveling many, many miles in our school van - about 2,000 - so please say a prayer for our safety on the roads, for health, and with 6 kids in tow, for me to have STRENGTH and patience!!  :)
