THE JOURNEY SO FAR

Originally posted June 8, 2006

Our house is wonderfully full of family with Anna and Matt who arrived from Denver on Tuesday and Ruth’s sister Miriam and her husband Bob from Amsterdam who arrived last night. We leave our home for a year in only 5 days, but we won’t be able to do much about it until Saturday when guests leave.

Laura’s graduation is tomorrow morning. There are so many goodbyes to be said along with the congratulations. Because this is not “home” to most students, the reunions from Black Forest Academy tend to be individuals connecting, but rarely as a group.

We miss Emilie dearly who tried so hard to find a way she could afford to come, but we’ll be calling her throughout the next couple of days keeping her up to date. I’m so glad we’ll see her shortly. She’s already in Denver apartment sitting for Anna and Matt and waiting for our arrival.
