First, let me say that I appreciate all of our friends and family (real life and blog/twitter/facebook world) who have been praying for my dad, Victoria's college interview, and our travels. Your prayers have been felt, and are deeply appreciated!

Victoria and I left out of here on Friday afternoon and arrived in KY very early Saturday morning. My dad had been released from the hospital after his surgery at about 9 o'clock Friday evening. He was back at the ER within a few hours of our arrival. That seemed to set the standard for our trip -- he was back and forth between the ER and doctors appointments 4 or 5 different times in a few short days. He has appointments with another specialist this Friday, and a visiting nurse will be at the house twice tomorrow (Thursday). Please continue to keep him in your prayers!

Victoria's interview and tour of Berea went well. We really enjoyed our time at the campus and everyone we met was very helpful and informative. We could not have asked for a better planned event! We will not know if she is accepted for another month or so but we continue to leave it in God's hands. Berea is the school Victoria really wants to go to, but God knows what is best and we trust Him to open and close the doors that are appropriate for her life.

I'm not sure how long I will be back home for. I think mainly it will depend on how Dad's appointment on Friday goes, and what information they find out. I feel more comfortable knowing at least that they have a wonderful church family watching over them and offering guidance and wisdom.

Special thanks to Leslie and Richard who fed Mike and the boys on Sunday afternoon after church and got them out of the house on Monday to go to the Aquarium and Fort Macon. They really enjoyed themselves and I so appreciate your friendship :-)

I think that is about as good a blog catch-up I can do for now. I got in at about 8:30 this morning after driving all night and I'm only surviving on about 3 hours of sleep but I have lots of stuff to catch up on. I'm pretty sure I'll sleep like a baby tonight!

Praying you all have a blessed week!
