Starting Over

As promised, here is the latest!

Jared successfully made it back to Tortola to rescue Sunny. It took five cancelled flights before he finally made it there. The airports finally reopened, but with limited services. 

Unfortunately, our boat is mostly underwater. He took some video and photos and said goodbye to our home. 

When we arrived to pick them up from the airport, the kids tumbled out of the car to hug their daddy and Sunny. The smile on Sunny's face was so huge! She was definitely glad to be back with family. Our friends, Karen and Chris, who took such wonderful care of her back on Tortola, are amazing people. They kept her safe and gave her lots of love. Karen said she was Sunny's Godmother, and that is an understatement. She is an angel!

We are now heading to Virginia, where some friends have offered their home to us. We plan on taking the kids to see Colonial Williamsburg (as a 5th grade teacher, I have ALWAYS wanted to go there), and some of the other sights.

Our offer was accepted on a boat, so we are figuring all of that stuff out. We are excited and happy to have a home again soon! It is located in Europe though, so we definitely have a lot of work ahead of us.

So, things are looking up. Slowly but surely, we will be back home on the water and can continue this trip! Maybe, I'll finally be able to teach abroad, after all! The thought makes me happy, because I had been looking forward to that a lot.

Hope all of you are well and I'll keep updating as I can. Thank you for all of your continued support. Having you all cheer us on is a huge help! :)
