Alaska-bound

If you are reading this, you probably already know that we are bound for Alaska. I accepted a call to serve at Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Wasilla, Alaska, and Lord willing, we will be arrive there by early June.

We are very excited about this opportunity of service God has provided for us, and we can't wait to get up there. The moving truck will be here on May 15th. We've already boxed up many of our worldly possessions, doing a little packing here and there.

Our plan is to drive to Alaska via Chicago and Montana so that we can visit our families on the way up. We're figuring the trip will be about 5,000 miles long. We actually drove that far a couple of years ago when we drove to Seattle and back, so we are not daunted.

I am hoping to use this blog as a means of regular family and church updates, including our trip up to Alaska. Now that we have a digital camera, I can also include pictures from time to time.

Stayed tuned for more on our big move....
