We're on our way

We are sort of on our way to Texas. Here's a brief outline of our moving plans...we like to make sure it's as complicated as possible.

We pack up our moving van tomorrow (Tuesday May 20th), then stay with friends for the rest of the week. Troy drives the moving van to Texas on Saturday and Stevi flies to Spokane with Jude. Troy flies back to Louisville on June 1st to take a class, meanwhile, Stevi and Jude fly to Texas. Troy drives our car to Texas after his class. In the end, a simple move to Texas is going to take 17 days, 2 driving trips, and 3 plane tickets! Fun!

So, you can be praying for us over the next 17 days (and after that as well, of course). Stevi and I have never spent this long apart (2 whole weeks!!! ahhhhh!) and Stevi is going to be a single mom for 2 weeks as well. We're struggling to enjoy each day as it comes as we really want these 17 days to be over, but God is gracious and we are joyful and delighted by His provision so far in this whole process.

We've hesitated to include a picture of our new home because we feel embarrassed by its size. Seriously though, this home should be way out of our price range, but as a foreclosure we were able to purchase it. It looks immaculate from a distance, but we are going to need to put some work into it as the previous owners didn't treat it very nicely. All in all, we are super excited about the house!

I hope the trip goes smoothly for you! We are so excited for you guys to start a new phase of life. The house is beautiful!

Unfortunately at this time we won't be in Spokane during that time. But I will talk with Steve about possibly about May 30 - June 1. I think that he is leading at church so we will see.
