Today the trailer got more packed. It is a real hard job to pack it all tight, like a puzzle. It is amazing how difficult this move is. We have had a few helpers each day but the one who seems to make the most progress is Michael. But, we are supplying all the stuff to pack so I guess the exhaustion that the rest of us feel is because we are also working hard.

The latest "plan" is that the trailer will be picked up Thursday and we will leave Saturday. I hope hope hope that Michael will come along, but he has jobs that must be done and I really want to live somewhere, like in a house. Staying w/ people on this end until he is finished is not attractive at all. No offense to anyone offering to put us up, but this whole chaotic living thing is old old old. Not complaining ~ just want to be home home home.

We are praying for all the details to continue to work out, even if they seem to "work out" differently than we think they should. God is faithful and always good and we see His grace in our lives every day. We have had neighbors drop by with gifts and well wishes for our future. Friends have brought food and convenience items. Even though we look forward to our new life in Texas, it is nice to know we will be missed. We will definitely miss so many people here. But, we will keep in touch!! Technology was invented for such things!

Here are some photos from the packing. We haven't been able to take many (too busy) or make videos but we hope to do some of that more when we are on the road seeing the pretty sights between here and The Republic of Texas.
