And Away We Go...

The time has come to tell you about a great blessing we have been afforded. A mere 33 hours from now, we will depart for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on a dream family vacation.

It seems silly that this is a big deal to us; I know wealthy people do this all the time.

BUT...this trip was given to us. Absolutely. One hundred percent. From the airfare to the five-star resort accommodations to the spending money, this vacation is a blessing/bonus/gift from my bosses to our family. We have been completely overwhelmed. And let me tell you -- it has made the challenges and the increased responsibilities of the last year worth it. :-)

This is where we will be staying. We will be staying in the Grand Mayan Suite. Can you imagine? We've known for four months, and yet we are still overwhelmed, nervous, scared, excited, thrilled, freaked out, etc., etc., etc.

My mom will be joining us there on Tuesday, which will also add to the fun, though we will miss my dad greatly.

We are so, so grateful for my bosses' generosity to us, and we are thankful to God for providing us with a memorable life experience for our little girl. Thank you, Jesus!

Adios!
