Departure

Well, the date for departure is not only finally set, IT'S TOMORROW!! Although Chris is going to hate me for this comment, I have to brag for a moment that I am taking WAY less stuff than he is... I have only three bags total (and one is just my laptop bag), and he has five. Now, in his defense, his clothes take up more space; he has to be dressed in suits and such for work, and most of my clothes won't fit in about three weeks anyway, so I'm leaving lots behind. Plus my bags are more stuffed and he's going to carry one of my coats for me. But I still feel good about my mad packing skills...

Ok, prayer requests:
  1. That we didn't forget anything.
  2. That we have a safe flight and are able to sleep.
  3. That my medicines continue to work and I don't get sick on the flight (last time I ended up in the hospital was following an overseas flight).
  4. That the apartment search (on Thursday) reveals the exact place God wants us, and that it is ready for us to move in ASAP.
  5. Clear lines of communication and efficiency between Chris, his company, the relocation company, the realtor, and anyone else needed for things to go smoothly.
  6. Sanity, sleep, and LOTS AND LOTS of grace for both of us.
We are thrilled, terrified, excited, overwhelmed, and exhausted all at once... What a way to start an adventure! Thanks for all your prayers and love.
