Summer vacation has arrived, the kids are out of school, and things just got pretty crazy.

This summer, my daughter has the opportunity to serve as an intern at American Indian Christian Mission, serving the White River Apache Nation in Arizona. Our plans originally were for her to drive out with a couple of very close friends of our family, who would get her settled in and then they would return home. They know AICM as well as we do, having gone with us more than once on short term mission trips there.

However, do to a tragic loss in their family, they are unable to go as planned. So today, I am headed out to Arizona with my daughter and then flying back home later this week. I’m hesitant to let her travel all that way alone, and I feel like it would be safer for her to have someone traveling with her.

I return home on Saturday, only to reload my suitcase and head to high school week at our church camp. That will also be a great week, but I wasn’t quite ready to have two busy weeks back to back.

So, for the next couple of weeks, things will be pretty quiet around here. Saturday’s quote posts are scheduled and ready to go, but most of the rest of what I do will be on hold until after I get back home. I hope to post an update or two in the meantime, much like this one, but I’m not sure just how possible even that will be.

Thanks for understanding, and for hanging out with me on this wild ride we are taking together. I appreciate you more than you know!
