China Here We Come!!!!

For the last year we had been thinking of traveling to Asia with our family, but weren't sure we'd go or for how long. I had received strong spiritual guidance about the trip and some of the specifics about a year ago.

3 weeks before we left, I woke up and thought "we should go!!!! I had a little prayer in my heart about going, and pulled up facebook and first or second post there was this video about living to your fullest potential. It talked about living your dreams and how you have something to contribute to the world, doing whatever you do best.

That was a good answer for me, as I had already felt confirmation that we should go a year ago. I hate waiting for things so I think I just put it out of my mind, and let it rest. Then it was brought to the front of my thoughts and off the back burner right before we could go! Two days later, on Tuesday we submitted our passports. Brielle's passport was held up four times, and we couldn't buy her ticket until we had it! Luckily Karen at the passport office in NH was an angel in my life and took personal care of Brielle's passport. We got it on Friday so we could buy her ticket, and left Tuesday. A whirlwind!

I've changed a lot since I first thought of coming on our world travel trip, I feel like I'm a different person in a lot of ways, but it's still going to be an amazing journey.

Dan and I sat down together and discussed what our intentions were for the trip.

1. Having experiences together as a family, and building our relationships

2. Changing our perspective -- something about experiencing the other side of the world, different cultures, and people who live so differently than you seems like it will just help us see our life differently.
