JJ,

You are Sweet!!! I'm glad to see that the great state of Kansas has been added to the itinerary. I hope that we can contain our excitement for the next couple of weeks. We are all sitting in anticipation of your arrival. Have a great time in the NW. We are working on getting better weather for your trip here.

Love you bro'
Kyle

The mountains are only a couple of days away.

Even though you won't be able to hike up the mountain, you can shut your eyes, soak up the sun, smell the crisp air and imagine the trek. Just picture it. I can see you now in all of your glory with that fantastic smile and your sparkling eyes looking up at those mountains.

God surrounds you with love at all times and in all people. Enjoy his creation on your trip.

Love you -

Kim

it was so fun to hang out with you yesterday! you looked so healthy compared to the other day in the hospital....and your always inspiring spirit was clearly back in "full-force" as well! ... and i must say skip-bo with partners is way better than the boring way my grandmother taught me long ago:)

you are going to have such a wonderful time on your trip--besides the beautiful scenery and friends and family you will see along the way--you get to go with four amazing people who love you so much....i will talk to you soon!

love you,
courtney

Kuke,
the trip sounds like it's going to be a fabulous time. I'm sure all the friends and family you'll be visiting can't wait to see you. I'll be praying for you and your traveling companions that the trip ends up being just as amazing as it sounds.

Justin,

I'm turning the lights up. I want you to see the glow of Bellingham from Seattle AND the beautiful city of Vancouver, BC. A friend refers to Vancouver as the 'city of Ahhhhhhhhs' because everywhere you look something moves you to say Ahhhhhhh!!.

love you bushels,

J's,
Good seeing you yesterday. Hope you enjoy "Kuke: The Original Soundtrack" and the Dream Team video. Both brought back some hilarious memories for me. I tried to get DT4 on DVD (which I may still be able to do) but couldn't get it figured out this past weekend. I might even get that thing on YouTube.

Your trip is going to dominate!

Love ya,
Eric

We'll have to get together again when you get back!

Your Friend,
Carolyn

I am so glad that the trip is a go, it sounds great, you are going to see some awesome places. If you can, you should post some pics on the blog while you're gone?
Keep me posted as you get closer to the grand canyon, I know it won't be for awhile since you have a lot of stops on the way. But it would be great to see you if possible.
Also, I am glad that you were able to get the scrapbook last night, I am sure it is very special.
Take care, and talk to you soon.

Justin, Hello!

Well now that I have figured out (or read) that Bham is Bellingham not Birmingham, I guess you won't be coming through! LOL Have a wonderful trip, enjoy and I am sending a prayer up for wonderful weather just for you and your family!

You are such an inspiration to all and I thank you for sharing your life and that of your family's with us ! Thank you and God Bless You and Yours.

I have been thinking about you a lot these past days, praying that God gives you health, strength, and beautiful weather for your trip. I miss you tons and I can't wait to see you again, but until then, enjoy your trip!! Especially the time with your nephews. I can imagine Kyle, Jeni, and the boys' exitement that you are going to be 'in the neighborhood!'

Lots of Love from LaCrescent!!
Tami

P.S. I had a random memory the other day . . . remember dancing at Tim and Kay's wedding and how much flack we got from the fam? They were all just jealous they couldn't cut a rug as well as the two of us =-) Sleep well!

Hey Kuke.

I've felt your family and you must be really strong to go on this trip together. It sounds amazing, I'm very excited for you.

Good to hear the Colorado news. Hope you'll be ready for the masses :->
