Looking back, for just a moment.

Well. This won't be the most edifying posts, as I'm really just logging my feelings about a huge life change that we, as a family are embarking on.

We arrived in Sydney Australia, in Feb 1998, Susan 4 months pregnant. Sophia, Gabriel and Ella were all born here. On July 4th, 2007, we depart from here, after a whirlwind journey of diverse experiences, having made some deep lifelong friendships, to Los Angeles, for the next season of the Sohn family story.

Bittersweet, would be an apropos sentiment right around now. But mostly, there is a tenuous polar balance between a core sadness, and the giddiness of the promise of the future.

So, though it's brief and fleeting, I glimpse back on the road that we've travelled, and marvel at the goodness and faithfulness of God to bless us with incredible children, wonderful friends, profound experiences, purpose & fulfillment. I could say it's been a hard path that we've trodden, machete'd our way through to find direction, but if I'm objective for even a millisecond, that's really been the joy of our life together, for Susan and I, as we go forth, into the thickest jungle of all, La-La-Land.
