We are in Michigan!!

Well, we made it to our first stop in our journey to Alaska. We arrived in Michigan about 7 p.m. and Scott's mom, Stephanie, had a great dinner waiting for us. Our drive to Michigan was good although we did drive through a snow blizzard. :-) Scott was able to make it to our "home/sending" church's missions meeting last night. He was excited about that. It was good to see everyone again.

We are having friends over today, kind of like an open house. They are free to stop in whenever they can and visit for as long as they wish. Stephanie has food for the day and it should be lots of fun.

When Scott and I woke up this morning, we heard someone playing pool...we thought it was Jeremiah since he had just left our room. We had told him to be quiet in case others were still asleep, so Scott got up to hush him up only to find it wasn't him...it was our Shaughn playing a game of pool with his friend Sean. Yes, our visitors started pretty early. LOL We just cracked up and had a good laugh. Sean is our 5th adopted son...or should be. He is Shaughn's best friend and always calling or visiting. We love having him around and enjoy his company very much. It was great waking up to see his smiling face. :-)

Scott is at our local Costco...only 10 minutes away from here.... :-) He was there when they opened this morning. He has already called me 2 times to run things by me before buying...he is having a blast there. A kid in the candy shop so to speak.

It is hard to believe that we are on our 3 month journey already. Time has come quickly. We are excited to see what God has in store for us during this time. We bought each of the boys a journal for them to keep a record of the memories and quiet times of their trip. They seem excited about that.

Well, that is it for this update...check back soon...there will be more soon. :-)

God bless you and thank you for reading about us.
