Life Changes

We have been packing and planning like crazy. With the visas, everything is falling into place quickly. Sadly, our dog passed away after we returned from Chicago. We had planned to take him with us and have shed many tears over losing our furry companion. This is just one of the life changes hitting us right now.

This weekend, we packed all our belongings into a 20 foot metal container. Tomorrow it will be towed away to be put on a boat and shipped to Spain. We won't see it for 30 days and then it will be to move everything into storage while we are in language school.

It has been a hectic week. Good friends came and helped us load. Major kudos to Kerry's dad and brother, and friends - Roger, Mark, and Drew. Kerry and company spent many calories moving in the heat. Major thanks!

We will wrap up lots of details this week, changing mail addresses, turning off utilities, clean our house up for the renters who are moving in soon. Details! God has brought so much together all at once. We knew God had everything taken care of but still it is amazing to see it all.

We don't know what all awaits us in the coming weeks, but the time has come to launch into this next phase of life. Ready for take off!
