According to our itinerary, we should be on a plane to Amsterdam, Netherlands.  Plans have a way of changing, hourly sometimes. 

We left my parents’ house right on time in spite of the fact that the plumber was here trying to install the new hot water heater.  We arrived at the Huntsville airport, checked in and said our goodbyes.  Holly was begging my mom and dad to come to the gate and stay with us until we actually got on the plane.  But the rest of us decided that there wasn’t any point in that.  So they left and we went through security and had all of our carry on items checked.  We found a seat at our gate and settled into our airport travel routine.  It was about an hour until boarding time.  John was trying to get online on the laptop and I thought that I would try and write a blog entry from the airport.  It was then that John was told that our flight from Memphis to Amsterdam was cancelled due to high winds.  My parents had already gotten back to their home 30 minutes away from the airport.  They came back to get us, luggage and all. 

Weather permitting, we are supposed to leave early tomorrow morning.  The schedule is horrible and we are almost hoping for another weather delay.  We’ll leave Huntsville Friday morning and go to two other airports here in the states and then arrive in Amsterdam on Saturday morning.  There, we’ll have a 14 hour layover and arrive in Bucharest in the wee hours of Sunday morning.  Once there and after we have collected and loaded our luggage, it is still a three to four hour drive to our home in Constanta.

On a positive note, we are here at my parents’ house safe and warm.  The new hot water heater is installed so we can expect a nice hot shower in the morning.  I discovered one of Holly’s outfits was still in the dryer so I rescued that.  God is still in control and we are still loving and following Him, where ever and whenever that may be.  I’ll keep you posted!
