Well, we survived our drive from Colorado back to Pittsburgh. The kids did great, but we are still exhausted! We got in last night around 8:30 after driving almost two straight days.

It was definitely hard to say good-bye to the friends that we’ve made at Mission Training International. It was so great to spend the last five weeks in the company of those who understand us and the crazy life that we are now leading! We hope that our paths will cross with many of our friends somewhere in the world!

This next week will be a tough one as we say good-byes to friends and family for a very long time. It also will be our last week to do everything “American” before we head south. We also have a whirlwind of things to do…load our container, finalize our paperwork, get the dogs ready to go, and on and on. Going to be a crazy week!
