Leaving Today

Well, all our bags are packed. The bills are paid. The laundry is done and the rabbits are with their new owner. All that's left is a shower and then off to the airport.
We are flying from DFW to London tonight at 7:30. We will finally arrive in Albania at 7:45 tomorrow evening, which will technically be 11:45 am Texas time.
I've got my VBS planned, all the supplies bought. Brian has his sermon stuff and class stuff printed out to look at on the plane. He is preaching Sunday morning right after we get there, then comes English classes, VBS, a youth class, a gospel meeting and Brian teaching Wednesday night church. When we are not working we hope to visit with children at an orphanage near by, playing with them and loving on them.
After two weeks in Albania, we will be vacationing for a week in Italy, then a week in Spain. Then be headed back across the pond on June 12th. We would appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we make this trip, for our safety and for us to reach some lives and shine Christ's love to the people of Albania.
Today also marks another month of treatment that hasn't worked. We will be taking this month off while we are traveling, then if we are still not pregnant when we come back, we will begin the lovely adventure of IUI. So, also please pray that we are able to get pregnant on our own this month with little baby Italia or Granada! :)
Hopefully I will be able to blog a bit while we're gone. We aren't taking our laptop because we are actually carrying on our backpacks the entire time. That's right girls, I packed a months' worth of clothes (really just 6 shirts, jeans, 3 pairs of shorts, swimsuit, running clothes) in a backpack! Whew! But usually I've been able to get on the internet at least once a week while we're there.
Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts while we are gone and please check back frequently for any stories from the trip!!
