This is just a quick update - my parents, Andy, and myself are currently stuck in London. The flights went well, but we landed in London basically because we didn't have enough fuel to turn back for the USA once the terrorist alert was placed early in the morning in Britain. We spent about four hours in Heathrow trying to figure out what to do - we are hoping beyond hope that 1) our 2pm flight for Rome tomorrow (Friday) will fly out, and 2) our luggage will be on it. We had the opportunity to check through all of our luggage to Rome (and were rather excited about it at the time), so now it's stuck somewhere on a British Airline luggage cart. We don't know when we will get it...
But God is good! He is in charge, even of this, and His plans are the very best - far better than ours. This definitely was not part of our envisioned vacation - but who knows - it means we might get a road trip to southern Britain and a ferry ride to Paris. Hey, I've never been to France before! Who knows what the future holds! I would much rather be stuck in a hotel room in Britain than flying in a plane with bombs.
Please keep us and all of the UK in your prayers - things are tense here, especially with the country on critical alert. We love you all and miss you :).

Leila, I'll pray! Looking forward to hearing about your trip, no matter where you're spending it! :)Hoping you got to Rome relatively quickly (as well as your luggage). Thanks for the post!
I'm glad you made it safely to the ground and that you are making the best of the circumstances. You will be in my prayers. Take care.
Love,
