Well, it’s for real. We’ve boarded the plane bound for Chicago. This photo was taken at the Mpls airport. Might be our ‘before’ picture. :) Tim went out Monday and will greet us at the Rome airport. Jake’s flight lands in Rome shortly after ours. We are all so excited. 

The ‘special’ thing about this flight is that the bathrooms are out of order. Fortunately it’s just a ninety-minute flight. 

We will get to Rome about 9:00 am (2 am Minnesota time).  Thank you all for your prayers.
