Here We Go Go Go On an Adventure

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What to say? ... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That's really the main thought (if it can be called a thought) going through my head right now. We finally received our visas; the New Zealand high commission did call on Tuesday last week, we were approved on Wednesday, and we were able to pick up our passports on Friday. Better late than never, right? And now, here I stand beside the gate for the first leg of our flight. Everett just had a mini tantrum on the floor and I can sense the other passengers all hoping that we're on a different flight. At least this first leg is short; then the real fun begins. We're praying for grace and patience for ourselves, our kids, and our fellow travelers.
