Santi Goes Abroad

At the beginning of the year, a family trip wasn't even a thought, much less a possibility. We still didn't know when Santi would have a surgery date, and it was hard planning such things as vacations when the unknown was...so unknown! Even when we did finally have a surgery date, traveling seemed out of the question.


Fast forward a few months, Santi is recovering, and small vacation talk is being talked.....why? We received a call with someone out of state blessing us with a home to stay in, if we would like, on Tybee Island, GA.


After much prayer, planning, and excitement, we pulled out of our driveway early last month, Tybee bound! Suffice it to say, we have never been to a more beautiful place....well, Dad says it's almost as beautiful as the mountains. =)


We agreed that if it had rained every day we were away, we still would have had a wonderful time, for it wasn't as much as the places we were staying, but rather, just all of us being together. We enjoyed the sun, just as much as the thunderstorm that moved across the ocean.


We had the honor of speaking and singing in three churches, whom we love dearly and who have prayed for Santi faithfully. This was such a blessing for us to be able to go and share God's goodness to Santi and our family. Who would have thought that Santi could stand up and testify of God's goodness just two months after surgery?!


We packed "traveling food"....you know, the foods you don't normally indulge in on a regular basis...and travel the many miles to enjoy real southern sweet tea and learn to once again say, "Hey Y'all!" instead of just plain, "Hi!". Did y'all know it was fawl up yonder? My, those trees are a Floridian's wonder...


Well, since our blogging staff seemed to take a holiday, =) we thought we'd share some of our pictures with you. We tried sitting down and picking a few, but that seemed an insurmountable feat, as our photographer...ahem....seems to be camera happy. =) So, just click play and enjoy the slide show...


As always, we thank you for your continued prayer and support. Please keep praying!
