We made it!

Friends,

We are here! It was hard to leave, but we are so glad to get that travel behind us! We had a 5 hour delay from Detroit to our city. I handled that pretty well, but did not handle well the fact that we were on an older plane without individual screens!! Lawrence was disappointed to say the least, and we were all tired!

But, Mark got the boys and Jaime and I got the girls, and we pressed on. The boys slept a while, and then woke up ready to roll. Judson ended up throwing up a few times, but stopped once we got off the plane, so I think it was just airsickness.

We arrived at 11:15 pm. Our van driver was at the airport from 4-midnight! We had no way to call him when we found out the delay. We got back to our apartment at 2am and to bed around 3. All our luggage made it and we were glad to get the air conditioning on, showered and off to bed.

Mark is out looking for apartments in our new neighborhood right now. Seems like it will be a bit longer of a process than we would like. Do pray for a big good apartment near the campus.

And now, I must wake up the jetlagged babies. I leave you with a glimpse into our first few days.

Prayed for you. Bummer about the puking but I'm glad you made it and it seems to be just flight sickness. I'll continue to pray for the things you've mentioned. Miss you guys!

Totally missing y'all, but excited to see y'all back where you belong :-). Glad you made it. I honestly can't comprehend traveling with that many bags and little ones. Clearly He equipped you the way you needed to be :-)
