On our way.

As my official first blog, (Shawn) I am wondering what to write. This isn't easy for me given the circumstances, but I will do my best.

Beth leaves on a fix winged flight with Nathan tomorrow morning. It is a small aircraft built for this kind of transport so I am sure everything will be fine. Please pray for a smooth flight since Beth is a little scared of flying. I have no doubt she will be strong for Nathan.

I will be following in the car once Beth and Nathan are on their way. It is going to be hard to say goodbye to everyone and everything we have grown to know. It is definitely going to be a huge change in lifestyle and surroundings. While I know its going to take some time to adapt to all the newness, I still have the feeling inside that there are going to be so many great things that come out of this new adventure.

I must say I am overwhelmed with the support and prayers from everyone. Our church family has been so great and supportive with prayers. My Iron group and our small group has been awesome. Friends, family neighbors, more gracious than we could ever imagine. I can't thank you all enough for everything. Beth, Isaac, Nathan, and I love you all very much!

God is good!
