Packing up.

So, we have been packing for weeks now, pacing ourselves nicely...so we thought. Today is our last packing day before the big move. I know, we don't load the truck until Monday but we have a High School purity retreat Friday, Saturday, into Sunday and when we get back there is a church-wide party for us, to see us off. We load Monday and take off Tuesday morning.

We are excited but saddened too. Last night was the last "Crossing" (youth worship service) for us. It was surprisingly difficult. The original Crossing Band came back and played, Adam gave his last message, and there were tears. I did not expect it to be hard...but it was...I can only imagine what the rest of the weekend will be like.

On a different note, I got word that our home in Newburgh is beeing deep cleaned before our arrival so I get to go into a nicely cleaned home when we get there. I am thankful. The boys are a bit anxious and acting on it this week but who can blame them...we have the house torn apart and the kitchen is packed up! NOTHING IS "NORMAL" right now. I do think Kal is excited to make the move though. I look forward to seeing them adjust and make new friends. Change is just so hard. But I think we are up to the challenge!

Well, I need to get the pantry packed up and start on some cleaning, so that is all for now.
