GOOD BYE BOQUETE

Today I’m sitting in the Schmuland’s living room typing my blog. We are once again in Panama City as we start our journey home. I know we will inevitable get the question, “How was our trip?” To put it simply, amazing. The time seems to have gone so fast some days and so incredibly slow other days. Leaving Boquete was bitter sweet. We left new friends to return home and see old friends.

What will I miss in Panama?

Jenni, Tamar, Sharron, Jody and their families; (Already miss you guys!)

Left to right- Jenni, Tamar and me

Bruce and Sharron, with Jadyn sneaking a lick


Hanging at the Bliss’ on Saturdays;
Ruiz coffee;
Pineapples, bananas and papayas picked that day;
Everything Bonlac (yogurt, coffee, milk, OJ);
Lower cost of living and a simple life;
Spending time together as a family;
Having no schedule;
Home schooling;
Caribbean Ocean;

What do I miss about Calgary?

Friends;
Church;
Superstores pesto sauces;
A paycheck;
My king sized bed;
Jelly Bellies;
Flossing sticks;

We still have no clarity as to what our future holds. Lots of this trip has been about faith, trusting God; so it looks like that theme will continue in our lives. But, that is what life is about. In those moments when you allow yourself to dream and imagine what could be, that’s when you let go and allow God to show you what He has in His imagination. We believe it is so much more than we could ever dream or even imagine. So we’ve chosen to trust and serve (our new mantra), living life open to what He has in store for us.


Stay posted as we continue our adventure!
