Leaving on a Jet Plane

As the song goes, all our bags are packed and we're ready to go..... We have made it! We finally depart today. We have dreamed and planned for this for so long and here we go. Wow!

We ended our last week with quite a bang. Meghan and Bryan's wedding was perfect beyond words. The weather could not have been nicer and the bride and groom could not have been more beautiful. Here are a few pictures from the evening.






It truly was a fabulous wedding weekend.

We wrapped the weekend up after all the family had said goodbye and the wedding dust had settled by going to help serve the evening meal at Calvert's Place, a men's homeless shelter, with several guys from Maynard's Saturday study group. Two wives joined in too ... Nancy and I. It was a rewarding experience, but then serving like this usually is.

Then yesterday it was final checklist time. We went to vote, tied up a few financial ends and finished packing. Things were so surprisingly together that Maynard spent his evening with the BAM guys in a meeting and I spent my evening with some girlfriends at a movie (Secret Life of Bees... it was FANTASTIC by the way).

So this brings me right back to the beginning of this entry. We really are going to do this! Bags packed... ready to go... and yes, leaving on a jet plane! Hopefully we will have Internet access while we travel so check back next week for the continuing saga of the Belson Big Adventure!

Love to all,
Sheryl B
