Hi guys!

I hope everyone is staying warm here in Michigan and for all of you readers in warmer climates…we are officially jealous! LOL  This sure has been a frigid winter this year! When I am able to be inside..all nice and cozy and watch the big beautiful snowflakes fall..then  I LOVE winter! But, venturing out into the winter wonderland…not so much! Well…I am changing that as I head to  CAPE TOWN SOUTH AFRICA  TOMORROW!  Yep…I can’t hardly believe it either! I never thought I would make my way to South Africa. I fancy myself as a Europe type of gal 😉 But…God opened doors and here I go!

 

Back story…My husband, Micah’s cousin, Ali is a missionary in Pemba Mozambique. She is traveling to Cape Town where she started her missionary work and it came about that I would meet her there. Our schedules seamlessly lined up and we are staying at a quaint little beach house in Simon’s Town, South Africa. I am still pinching myself! I have to say…many obstacles have gotten in the way of this trip. Many nights of me changing my mind about going. No big secret I am not an eager flyer. The total travel time is 31 hours. Yup..you heard that right.. 31 HOURS people! 19 of the hours spent in airplanes! Can you see how God is working on me already?

So…I will be back in the office on Feb. 10th. I will have some access to email and for all of my new brides and inquiring couples..feel free to reach out to me while I am gone. Please understand it might take me a bit longer to respond, but I am excited to work with all of you! My  2014 season is almost full and I am booking for 2015. Congratulations on all of you newly engaged couples!

Feel free to follow my Cape Town adventures on my Instagram.  You can follow me HERE!

Your prayers for safety are much appreciated! Also… for my sweet boys to cope without mama 😉 I 1/2 kid on that one..I am blessed to have my mother-in-law staying the first week and my mama helping the 2nd week! 🙂 Thankful to my awesome hubby for making this trip happen too! He will be working hard for our family while I am enjoying time away.

This trip for me is all about connecting with God, adventures and time with my sweet cousin, Ali. I am excited to visit her church and the orphanage that she  used to work at. I do not have any big expectations, but I do know that the sunshine and stillness will be good for my soul. Cape Town looks amazing! I feel truly blessed.

Much love and blessings,

kellyb.
