I'm Appealing Murphy's Law!!

Well ... if distraction were a sign to turn around, we'd have plenty of reason to turn tail ... but it's not.  Once you have a bead on what you're to do, you can and should expect stuff to go wrong.

Let me tell you about some stuff.

Day One Down ... All Is Well

Well ... we did get started a little later than hoped but just as expected ... and not without any difficulties.  Here's a pic of the staging before we began the trip ... I will miss that house ... I will miss the park next door to my house ... but I have to tell you that I am very excited to get underway.

Objects In The Rear View Mirror ...

Tonight is our last night in our home ... our last night in Louisiana.  Tomorrow morning we begin our three day hike across the country. Please pray for us and our protection and for our gear.  As I sit here typing I have a lot of mixed emotions about this transition ... our house is brimming with them.  My children are experiencing emotions and thoughts that I would think them too immature to encounter ... they always surprise me.
