October 10, 2011 was a Monday, too. And it was on that Monday five years ago today that I boarded an airplane with my husband for my first overseas flight to, you guessed it, England. It was the result of a sudden lightning bolt decision in February 2010 that hey, we were grown-ups and could go places. And the end result of that lightning bolt moment is that five years later I am recording our lives on the
same little blog I kept then from our home in North Yorkshire, England.
I had nothing more in my head but a really fun "trip of a lifetime" with my husband. Yet,
"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps."
And as Bilbo warned Frodo,
"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door...You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no telling where you might be swept off to."
