We are back!

An absolutely wonderful and amazing adventure. I can't wait to share my journal and pictures with you. It will take me quite awhile to get this all done. I took over a thousand pictures. And, the group that went - we are all combining our pictures so we can all share them. I want to take extra time to write about as much as I can because Sarah and I will have this blog printed into books for each of us when it's done. BUT, I have asked my friend April if I can cheat and copy and paste her blog entries. I really want them in our book -- I love her writing, all the facts she has written about and her wonderful description of so many things. April is a good friend of mine; a wife; a mother to 2 girls; a nurse ... we have known each other for about 5 years, but had not really spent much time together prior to this trip. I was so excited when I walked into the first informational meeting and April was there! It was soo good to get to hang out and bond more with this trip.
