Welcome to the Scharrer family's real life story! Most of our story is written for, and about, our four kids and the spice they add to our lives. It's our story of happiness, craziness, and sometimes ridiculousness. We've journaled through childbirth, the terrible two's, private school (and our public school experience), an autism diagnosis, medical school, residency, and long-term mission work in Africa.

Now we're following a new adventure, which involves a 45 foot motorcoach, homeschool, and as many ski slopes as we can go down in one year.

For posts from while we were living in Zimbabwe and updates about our future plans in Zimbabwe, please see our mission blog...

And we're off!

We made it to the airport with our four carry-ons and 266 pounds of luggage!  Erik lost his boarding pass within 10 minutes of being in the airport, but soon found it and we buzzed right through security. For once we didn't have to run 20-some gates down the concourse and made ourselves at home in a cute little restaurant right beside Gate G6, where we'll depart from in about one hour from now. Even though we ordered and ate some lunch, the majority of our time has been spent on the phone and computer, tying up loose ends before leaving the country.  I took a minute to just sit and watch and I laughed to myself as I realized how different life will be in 24 hours from now. We're sitting in a restaurant that has two iPads at every table. They don't have servers that take your order, you view the menu and order on the iPad.  There are also several games on these iPads, as well as free internet and plug ins. There isn't one single person here not on some kind of elecctronic.

    Time to shut phones off! For the record, it was 226 lbs and I had my boarding passes in my pocket the whole time. Just have to keep Kara on her toes. :)
