For us, sabbatical means a time to rest, travel, read, and study other cultures. Wayne's view of "resting" means sitting on a beach for weeks and not moving. Kelley's view of "resting" involves adventure, backpacking, hiking, taking trains, ferries, and gondolas. Guess which version of resting won? Well, we are planning a little of both! Lots of adventure and lots of resting on beautiful beaches and mountains. :) Thanks Grace Fellowship for believing in sabbaticals and rest! We love Grace Fellowship!
For 4 weeks everything has to fit into a backpack. We've never been to Europe and we've not booked any hotel rooms. We've been saving up in a money jar but Kelley keeps borrowing from it. This is going to be a great adventure!
We hope you'll consider following us on here as we go from London to Germany, Switzerland to Austria, Italy to Greece, and Ireland to Houston!!! Be aware though... if you choose to follow us on this journey, you may get swept up in some crazy adventures... or at least laugh a lot. The trip will be from Sept 1- Sept 30. Please pray for us on this journey, not only for safety as we travel, but for God's hand to guide us and refresh us for more seasons of ministry when we return.
We love you!!!!
Now we've gotta finish packing!! We leave tomorrow!

PS....Yes, this is Kelley in the photo! New haircut!
