Vancouver

Hi all. This is a super quick post to say that I have arrived safely in Vancouver. Was met at the airport by Leah Lim (nee Martin) and Sarah Gotell followed by a tour of the night lights of Vancouver - I will have to get a pic one night! And then some gelato to top off the night before returning home and being shown my decked out room including treats on the pillow. Seriously, this entire trip I have been blessed in so many ways - from everyone's generosity BEFORE I left, to Auckland with Tim, Cris & Matt, Simon and others I met, to San Fernando with Brooke and Simon, to Santa Barbara with Addie and Doug and finally arriving with Nate and Leah. Every place I have felt so loved and welcomed. Not to mention, everyone's encouraging comments, phonecalls, e-mails and jokes along the way! I feel overwhelmed at God's amazing goodness shining through each and every one of you! Thank you all.

And the pics...first one is last days with Addie and kids at the Santa Barbara pier. Second, is a huge sand castle at Carpinteria Beach (oh, in case you're wondering, no we didn't make it!) The funny part is how the person taking the photo (some random on the beach) took it with only half of Addie and I actually in it! :) And final pic is Leah and I at the airport last night.
