Away we go...

It's official. I've bought plane tickets for myself and two small cats. I'll be flying the little ones to Oregon on May 11th and staying through the 15th, when I'll return to DC for a few days. I'm more nervous than ever to take them on the plane, as they haven't even been outside more than a trip to the vet and back. I just have to focus on it being for their good and think about all the trees they'll get to climb and birds they can chase at my parent's house. Tom graduates with a Master's in Security Studies on May 19th (Friday) and then after we get all packed up, we'll be driving back to Oregon. As for plans after that, they continue to change and grow daily, as we are provided with more information and ideas. In the meantime, we trust in God's guidance and assurance that all things work together for good and that wherever we end up, however we end up, with whoever we end up, it will be for the best. Whatever happens, we anticipate the next few months of planning and seeing where the future leads.
