The Night Before We Leave

Well, it's finally here. The night we have been thinking about for months . We leave for Belgium tomorrow. We were so fortunate to have sold our house a while back and after we closed, we moved up to Florissant with Jess' folks. It's been fantastic because they had a bunch of space and it was great to be with them and have great dinners with them (as well as mine and pop's nightly happy hours;) It was also advantageous because we were so close to my family, so we got to see everyone so often these last few weeks and especially these last few days. But after a pizza party tonight, we finished packing and are getting ready to go to bed and rest up for the flight tomorrow. The boys are so excited! It took them a while to fall asleep tonight and it will probably be the same for Jess and I. We depart tomorrow at 1130 out of Lambert and fly to Phily where we will depart at 6:30 pm for Brussels, arriving Wed morning at 7:55 am. Please keep us in your prayers these next few days and weeks. We feel so good about the decision we have made, but it is nonetheless a big change and one which we feel will be good for the boys, Jess, and I. It's not forever, so we will not say goodbye, but rather; see you soon. Please keep in touch as much as possible and keep an eye on the airlines; they have good deals from time to time. God bless and talk to you soon.

Love,

Mike, Jess, Colin, and Aidan
