T-Minus 1 Day …
Posted by Chris
Well, it's nearly 11:00pm on Saturday night. The movers are set to be here in the morning around 8:00-9:00am to begin packing up our house. We spent the half of the day getting last minute things done in preparation for the move. It's been productive, but we are very tired.
Gary was here last night & this morning and we had Christmas with him. The kids had a great time opening presents & playing with their new toys. We enjoyed our time with Gary, as well.
Andrea's mom, Nancy, arrived after lunch and is spending the night tonight with us. Did Christmas with her this afternoon and then she helped Andrea get a mental picture of where things might go in the new house.
All in all, it was a good, but tiring, day. Not sure how tomorrow is going to work trying to handle all of the moving details and keep the kids entertained at the same time. Actually, it will probably be easier tomorrow than Monday as they will still have some things out to play with tomorrow. By Monday everything will be packed away.
The plan is to leave on Monday afternoon/evening sometime & try and make up part of the distance so our Tuesday travels will be a little more bearable.
This is the last post on our blog from Oklahoma as I'll be packing up the computer either tonight or in the morning. We won't be back online until sometime Sunday of next week. Our email address is staying the same, so you can continue to email us, if you would like. No guarantee we will get the messages quickly, though, as we won't be able to check email until we have access to a computer somewhere.
It's been a good nearly eight months here. We've enjoyed living in Oklahoma and enjoyed living the life that God has lead us into here. And although the distance makes this move especially difficult (we've shed more than a few tears over the past several weeks), we're equally excited about what lies ahead. God has been so good to us - so good. Sometimes I wonder why He chooses to bless us the way He does. But we will remain thankful & depend on Him for all we are & all we do. See you on the other side (of the move, that is)!
