Aug. 2018"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>As most of you know already, we headed WEST in the months of July and August 2018 for the purpose of safely delivering our oldest son Timothy (second oldest child) to Bible College to learn Missionary Aviation which he had been burdened to do since he was 4 years old.\u00a0 It was an unexpected trip because Timothy had planned to do his first year of college ONLINE (from home) to save money for the next 4 years when he would need to live ON campus.\u00a0 However, policies changed and we discovered that he was required to live there his first year also.<\/p>\n<p>SO, we rushed, rallied, and gathered our thoughts and plans to plan a trip WEST!!\u00a0 God proved Himself SO faithful and we made phone calls and within a half hour, we had our trip planned, and meetings scheduled at various churches we called along the way. Praise the Lord!!\u00a0 We decided to make this trip VERY memorable and special as we traveled West because it would be our LAST trip together as a family (all together).\u00a0 sniff, sniff<\/p>\n<p>It was SO hard saying goodbye to Timothy (to read more about that, look on our previous post &#8211; about saying goodbye to Timothy and new baby).\u00a0 Although it was hard to say our goodbyes, it was a SPECIAL trip that we will not soon forget!<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoy the posts below that we posted on our FB page as we traveled across this GREAT nation!!\u00a0 It starts in Kentucky (where our first meeting was) all the way to the Oregon Coast to see the Pacific Ocean. Then, we do a little bit of pics, etc. of our trip BACK East.
