To Boldly Go...

We're heading to Florida for the launch of STS-130, which is scheduled for Feb 7th. We've been invited to the launch by our friend, Terry Virts, who is the pilot on this mission (second from the left). Of course, we won't get to see Terry in person, but we will get to fellowship with his wife and children. We look forward to that. So, the kids and I are loading up the van and going on a grand adventure. It's so nice having a son who is a man and can help drive and keep all of us safe! Thankfully, my beloved will join us for the launch and a few days of soaking in the warm sun in Florida. Along the way, we get to visit with friends and family. Ah, a vacation in February to sunny Florida. Great timing!

So, if you place an order and I don't get back to you right away, this is why. I should have internet access daily, so I will try to email you to let you know when to expect your order. Thanks for understanding. I promise to get right to it when we get home again.

And, if you happen to watch the launch, or see the headlines about it, please say a prayer for Terry and the rest of the crew. What a wonderfully amazing adventure they are going on! Viewing God's earth from that vantage point must be incredible! And, if you think about it, say a prayer for me: 1 van, 6 children, 3000 miles. I hope it doesn't snow.
