2 weeks left....you have got to be kidding me!!!

So yesterday I did some errands with Katie in tow, we were talking about us leaving and that was when it had dawned on me that we have 2 weeks left here.

Lots of things are going through my mind these past couple of days. Places I go, people I see that won’t be my normal anymore.

One of my errands yesterday was to drop off a letter to Russell and Carly….talk about bittersweet. For those of you who don’t know, the Kloosterhuis’s moved into the apartment we use to live in while we were at New Tribes. Yesterday was my first time seeing it since we left it last June.

Things are just getting weird…..

After we chatted with Carly for awhile we said our goodbyes and I took Katie to go see the “pool”, which isn’t a pool anymore.  I walked up and down the halls and smelled familiar smells, memories of my family were coming back to me. And then something dawned on me.

I don’t like change…..

I have moved way too much in my life that it seems like I would be use to it by now. This fall when we move to Winston-Salem, it will be the beginning of living in my 17th home.

Please be praying for us while we make the preparations to go through this change. Many things still need to fall in place and there are a few things we still need.

Be praying for:

 myself, as I have to edit and deliver orders for 3 weddings I did this past month.

beds for the kids, we are looking for bunk beds because they save space.

bedding for twin beds and a queen bed.

that we could find affordable living close to the college.

finances to fall in place.

finding a school for the kids to attend this fall.

looking for a chest freezer to transport food and to have while attending school.

the kids as we still need to explain what is happening.

our youth.

our family to accept and support the news.
