Good-byes and other such things

Today we said good-bye to Jon's parents and youngest brother - they caught a flight early this afternoon to head back to the land of the Sound of Music.  Parting is sad, but we most certainly enjoyed the time we got to spend with them!  This was the first Christmas in about 14 years that they've been in the States, and we were honored and blessed to be able to spend it with them.

We leave tomorrow to go to the bed and breakfast where we will be spending the honeymoon portion of our trip - we look forward to a bit of time in rural Central New York, though we won't be entirely alone - we'll be going up to spend an evening of food and fun with an old family friend.  We're looking forward to that time as well, and we rejoice that we have been so richly blessed!

We'll return to Texas (DFW area) next Thursday, and will drive back to East Texas on Friday - then it's to normal life as newlyweds.  People have asked, "So, how's married life?"  We aren't quite sure how to answer that question yet, seeing as how we've been traveling for most of our married life.  We look forward to settling down to routine and daily living, and are excited to see what adventures the Lord will lead us on.

With that said, this will probably be our last post before heading back down to good ol' Texas.  Merry New Year to all of you!
