We have thought, discussed, prayed, and thought, discussed, and prayed some more.
While we would love to stay in Kenya for another two months, we are very excited about a new opportunity for our family.
While we would love to travel Europe for a month and see my amazing cousin Brooke and her family, the costs are prohibitive.
Um, two months in Wisconsin bunking up with friends and relatives, just doesn't seem like a lot of fun to us and not many of you voted for that either!
Maybe you have guessed it by now, or maybe you have clicked the wrong link and have no idea what I am talking about...either way, drum roll please....
We have decided that we will be coming back to the United States of America at the end of May. Our flight leaves Kenya on May 27th and we are due to arrive in Chicago sometime after our connections in Amsterdam and St. Paul MN. After arriving in the U.S. we will embark on a great American road trip!
We have already created a few drafts of our planned trip and will share that publicly soon, but first, we would like to highlight some of what we would like to accomplish on this journey.
- Visit our family and friends that we have missed while living abroad
- Visit areas that we have helped with disaster assistance over the years
- See scenic and historic sites across the country
- Continue our family time together
- Continue working on development projects as they present themselves
- Continue homeschooling our children

We really value your feedback and absolutely loved reading your responses from the last survey and really want to hear from you now.
- If you were going on a road trip where would you go? and why?
- Are you a family member or friend that lives somewhere other than Wisconsin, and would like us to stop by? If so, please let us know soon so we can add you to the plan.
We will release the latest draft tomorrow and our tentative itinerary and we are hoping you will help us develop our plan!
Thanks for the love and support
On the same trip we also drove up to NYC and and the Statue of Liberty - it's just a 4 hour drive from DC, and you can stop and see the Liberty Bell in PA on the way. We had to skip it as we had 4 kids throwing up in the car that day ;). Blessings,
