Update on the move (kinda)

I'm still in one of those BLAH kind of moods, but I'm better than earlier. I took some headache medicine, curled up in bed, and had a real good cry. Sometimes you just need those, I guess. Then I read Philippians. It was good. God really spoke some things to me, and I am thankful. Then my wonderful husband decided I needed some Bangkok (our favorite Thai place which we're really gonna miss). I had a few hours break from my headache, but unfortunately, it's back (with bells on). I got nothing done today....just a bunch of laying around the house and piddling around (kinda makes me feel more BLAH just thinking about how BLAH I've been....oh well, maybe tomorrow! :)

So, an update on our move (the "REAL" reason I was supposed to post today) ..... :o)

• We're in the process of sending letters out to everyone. We're basically sending this first letter out to just about everyone we know. We're not sending the letters out all at once; only about 20 or 30 at a time so that we can follow up easier. There's some people that we don't have an address for and not even sure how to go about getting one. If you're reading this and haven't received a letter (and would like one), just email us and we'll be sure to send you one. (BTW, our email is posted as a link on the right side of our blog, all the way at the bottom.) It's possible that we just haven't sent yours out yet, or maybe you're one of the people that we don't have a current address for. Either way, if you're interested in partnering with us and getting updates and such, then we want to be sure we get a letter to you. :o)
  
• We have had the opportunity to share this with many of you, but some may not know yet.....It's very possible that we might be able to house-sit for a family while they are in the Netherlands for 4 months!! This is such a blessing to us because we'd be able to "shop" for a house once we're already in Wichita (versus trying to do it long distance). We really see this as the Lord's provision and even as confirmation that this is the direction He's taking us. This would also allow us to save up some money for a few months (they'd like for us to stay in their house for free since we'll be doing them a favor as well). Isn't that awesome?!?! God is so good!
  
• Our target date is still around the first of November. I plan on starting the packing process the first week or so in October. I've got bunches of diaper boxes in the garage and I'm going to start with packing all of our books, knick-knack type stuff, frames, etc. Around mid to late October, we're thinking about having a garage sale to try and lighten the load a bit. Poor Uhaul that gets stuck with us....Surely we have more junk than the average bear.
  
• Ummmmm.....can't think of anything else right now. :o) Overall, life is pretty much "normal" (whatever that means) right now for us. I'm sure once October comes around that it'll be a little different story.

I just feel like saying THANK YOU right now......Thank you for checking our blog, thank you for taking an interest in our lives, thank you for loving us, and thank you for your friendship! There's so many other things you could be doing at this moment, but instead, you're reading our blog. That really means a lot to us! Thanks! :o)
