A Layne Post<\/span><\/p>\n Leaving\u00a0 on a jet plane… don’t know when I’ll be back again…<\/strong><\/p>\n In a mere 20 days Jon and I will begin our second journey as a married couple. Wow! Where did the time go?! In some ways I feel like we just returned from our ‘Around the World Trip’ and have gotten into some normal <\/em>routine.<\/p>\n We will begin by spending a week and a half in Corpus Christi, Texas with my lovely family, taking in as much as we can. I treasure these short weeks. Once we head to Africa, we will not be sure of the next return. That is a strange feeling for me, accompanied by many tears that seem to come on at random times. Jon is so comforting and understanding.<\/p>\n On July 4th we board a plane to Porto, Portugal! It is exciting to be taking another step towards the start of our future ministry.<\/p>\n Jon is still working as I sit at home looking at our stuff to pack. Yes, I said looking<\/em>. Ha! I have pulled our belongings out into the middle of our living space, gotten rid of a lot, bought plastic tubs… and pretty much that is where it has stopped. I haven’t been motivated to get the stuff in<\/em> the tubs. Maybe I am just afraid of how many tubs we need, and\/or the fact that I may need to slim down some more. Getting rid of things can be strangely difficult. Why we have sentimental attachments to silly little things, I don’t know.<\/p>\n This weekend we head to San Diego with the\u00a0 Heller clan to participate in the Camp Pendleton 10K Mud Run<\/a>. We have been training for a few months and are up to running 6 miles. After the hard work of running, we will spend a few days having a family vacation. The whole family will be together! (Rare these days)<\/p>\n
