A Twist

Have I mentioned I'd be residing in sunny California soon? {chuckle} As per The Adventure would have it, the long weekend away from the blogosphere took us on a journey of epic proportions ~ particularly for the DellDog, who, for the very first time, flew on a plane.

Suprise! We're here!

How was our journey you ask? Well, take a gander for yourself . . .and prepare to enter a Fab-O-Lous giveaway at the end of this post!

Here's the photojournalistic run-down:

Dell had suspected for days that something was up. He was bound and determined not to be left behind! Tagging along every time the door opened, his anxiety began to peak. I decided, at the behest of the veterinarian, to go ahead and give him (the DellDog, not the vet) some benadryll for the ride. Sure enough, calmed him right down. He luxuriated in the limo with the rest of us, only slightly tweaked:

This next photo is nothing short of incredible! Managing to capture Keller in a full blown laugh is challenging, since his 'laugh' is merely a big, wide smile with no noise. I couldn't contain my joy, when I found this joyous expression in mint condition; digitalized forever!

Aubrey's wonderment captured my heart ~ I'd forgotten that she'd not been on a plane in a very long time . . .the mountains of California certainly engaged her imagination:

When we arrived, weary but happy, Israel took a few shots to add memories. It was us and bags the size of Utah. Egads!

Since arriving, we've gotten settled; picked up work permits; made a trip to Huntington Beach to the Sonlight Big Fat Meetup (yes, I did. -smile- ); joined a local assembly for fellowship; eaten both authentic Persian and Chinese cuisine; and hiked a nearby canyon complete with sore and aching muscles to prove it! For all of my wrangling with the unknown, I have to say, God is good, and I do believe our sojourn here will be filled with His direction, provision, and education.

Not too shabby for a Pilgrim. ")

In celebration of the new twist on The Adventure, I'm hosting a blog giveaway today!
