3 more days

It's 3 more days until I travel home; things are winding down so fast. Tylene and I were antsy and excited to get home, but now we feel a bit numb. We've finally realized that we're going to be leaving without coming back for a long while... :(

We have our going away party at the church today; what a tearful night it will be! The tears are already starting to flow with people saying their last goodbyes and last visits and famous last words. It should be a wonderful night, and we don't know quite what to expect or who to expect to come, but surprises are always a little bit necessary here and there.

Pray for us today -- that it would be a wonderful time full of fun and memories of good times and of God's peace in this decision to come home. It's going to be one LONG day.
