Colorado welcomed us home with wide open skies and a beautiful sunset, reminding us of one of the many reasons we love living here. Last winter when we were in the throes of planning this trip, we were told, "...you will go home very broke, and very happy!" How true this is! It felt good and right to arrive home as the October sun was setting, and closing out the day....closing out the final moments too of our family's adventure of a lifetime, one we expect will forever shape each of us. Thank you for coming along on this ride via our Wanderings blog; thanks even more for thoughts and prayers for us while we've been gone. We look forward to hearing your impressions of what you've read and seen!
High above is a grand way to see the widespread changes of a season; the setting light, bathing the land in autumn's amber hues was an unexpected delight, and I smiled out loud.
And then I laughed, because I saw this sign soon after, and Camden said, "mom, that one's in Paris, let's go see it!"
Kristina, we met at the Monumental Speech and Debate Intro night and our mutual friend, Jade Unruh, emailed me your blog link as I'm in the early planning stages of a trip to England. WOW lady, I'm envious of your five week trip. You're an amazing writer and photographer. I was especially captivated by your daughter, Ashley's blog post while visiting England. She's a gifted writer as well. I look forward to following all of your posts. I got through your UK posts and will continue the journey through Italy. Thank you for taking the time to capture these moments and share them. I look forward to our paths crossing again.

Kristina,
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing journey! Thanks so much for sharing your blog link in your Christmas newsletter. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all of your postings about your trip. What an invaluable gift for your family to be able to take this trip together. Your kids have really grown up! Bob & I hope to be able to take our kids overseas one day - there is so much value in seeing God's world through the eyes of another culture. Blessings to you all in 2013 and keep in touch.
