European Adventure here we come!!!! After the craziest week, we are finally boarding the plane. Jeff had to go a week ahead of us, at the last minute,for a project he was working on for Josh Groban. He was asked to build some stage lights to keep the tour budget down. He did an amazing job. I'll have to post pictures of the stage later. He always amazes me.

The kids were absolutely crazy with the last week of school, and work was incredibly busy. I got about 10 total hours asleep within 7 days. I'm used to that prepping for a trip, but with Jeff gone it was that times 1000. I'm just grateful for family and friends that helped me out in a few pinches that week, and my awesome staff that keeps growing!

Narci is hilarious, he decided he needed a murse, aka a man purse since he already has a rolling backpack this trip. We kept luggage amazingly light so that we can easily sightsee with our backpacks.

I can't wait to see Jeff!!!! I missed him terribly and realize there is just no way our life works without him. He is meeting us in Istabul. We have a stop over in Amsterdam for 12 hours, and I'm excited for the kids to see the Van Gogh museum and just the city in general. Once we get to Istanbul it is just a quick stop and onto Cyprus to meet up with Uncle Adam, who will be joining us on our journey.

So grateful to live the lives we live, and to have an amazing family that loves to have adventures together. The kids can't stop singing the Istanbul not Constantanople song. All the way to Houston. At least it kept me awake enough to make it to the airport. I did have to stop and get a Rock Star to make it. Now that we are on the plane, I can finally sleep!!
