Leaving on a JET PLANE.......


Wow - how do you know when it's time to let them fly out of the nest? We were given an incredible BLESSING 2 weeks ago when the parents of Katie's good friend, CARINA, called and asked if Katie could join them for a SPRING BREAK trip. Realizing that we could never afford a trip to STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Colorado, we thanked the HOYER family and agreed to let Katie go with Carina and her dad, Bill. Although the immediate thought was "NO WAY" - How do you let your 14 year old go on an airplane for the first time?? But, after some prayer and conversation, we realized that God was providing us with a BLESSING. How exciting for Katie to have this opportunity! We will drop her off tonight at Carina's house and she leaves on a jet plane tomorrow from Chicago. Dan is very jealous, as his new found LOVE of snowboarding is pretty much over for the season here in MICHIGAN (unless we get ANOTHER snow storm). Dan has spent the last 2 weeks trying to figure out how he can hop in the suitcase. Your prayers are appreciated, as my oldest starts to fly.........
