We bought our plane tickets this week! Michelle (aka Fife) found us an incredible deal! Both our tickets to Istanbul were under $1200! It was kinda weird buying one way tickets, but I'm super excited. So we are leaving Houston on January 22 and will arrive in Iraq on January 25th. We will get to spend a day in Istanbul and might get to catch up with some friends, so that should be fun! It is a pretty big relief to have a departure date and see and end in sight to the 'preparation phase' of getting ready to go. We're really going!
This week of global celebration at our church has been a really wonderful time of affirmation and opportunity to share about what is going on in Iraq. It has been great to see Jeremy and Michelle and I'm so thankful to all of the families and individuals at our church who have been such incredible advocates for us! So...62 days until we leave. Jeff quit his job last week and Friday is my last day at my job, so we will be traveling a lot and get to spend some good time with family before we leave. I had my sad week a couple weeks ago and now I'm just ready and really excited! I'm dreading the good byes as I know those will be REALLY sad, but I feel an extreme sense of peace and joy for what is ahead.

It is a joy to share life with friends who have become more like family and even cooler to have community all around the world! I hope this will help us stay connected and be a bridge for all of the 'couch talks' that I miss having with my community everywhere.
