One flight I won't be missing...

After five quick yet long months practically living in NYC I'm happy to announce that I finally got transferred to Atlanta come October.  As adventurous as NYC has been it is not the life for me.   I'm so thankful to have had that experience, but equally excited to bid it farewell.  I'm also excited to announce that Zac has officially begun working at First Fence of Georgia as a foreman.  He was handed the keys to his brand new company truck and trailer yesterday. I'm so proud of him!  We are finally beginning to feel a little more stable here in Georgia. The last 9 months have been a season of sacrifice, humility and traversing the unknown.  We are first and foremost thankful to God for blessing us in this season, and continue to await all that God has in store for us around the corner.
                   I'm home for a few days, a place I've come to love more than anywhere in the world. As much as I travel, home with Zac is my favorite destination.  This month I visited Seattle for the first time and saw the world's first and in my opinion, highly over-rated Starbucks with a line down the block.  I also experienced Pikes Place Market, gum alley, and ate fresh calamari along the beautiful Puget Sound.  Seattle was much dirtier than I imagined and super crowded and loud from the traffic downtown.  I can't wait to experience the nature side of Washington like Olympic National Park.
            I had a short layover in Columbus, Ohio and after dinner I was walking up to my hotel to get ready for bed and I heard John Mark McMillan playing ( I walked down the aisle on my wedding day to his song Future/Past).  I peeked around the corner and lo' and behold there he was on tour with none other than my favorite band, Needtobreathe.  I went to the gate and bought a ticket so I could enjoy the whole show.  With only 5 hours left to sleep the concert was so worth it.  My last trip I just got home from was to Toronto, Canada.  The hotel was built into the Blue Jays stadium.  We happened to arrive on game day and were able to watch the game for free from inside our hotel.  One of my crew members and I went after the game to catch a Ferry to the Toronto Islands, because no matter where I am in the world I always find the water.  We were partially scarred for life after coming upon a nude beach which we quickly ran from to the clothing mandatory portion of the beach.  All in all it was a very adventurous month full of surprises, blessing and experiences I never dreamt I'd have.  God is faithful, and comes through just in time, every time.
