Our last week in Washington :(

Wow! I can't believe its already here. Our last full week in Washington. Its going to go by so fast I tell you. We have something going on every night. Which is wonderful. We will be spending every free moment that we have saying good-bye to all of our friends and family! Its so very hard this time around. When we moved 6 mos. after we were married it was definitely hard. This time especially for me is extremely tough. I have had over 2 yrs. to really get to know our family and friends up here. I love them all so very much. Now, not only do we have to say good-bye to them but its saying good-bye to all of their kids as well. Thank you Lord, for having someone invent the internet! Its wonderful technology! Even though we will be thousands of miles away, we will can still watch everyone's children grow up! To all of you Pacific Northwesterners know how much I love and care for you all! You all have a very special place in my heart and it will be with me forever! You all are the best!

Now, for this week ahead! Byron and I have mapped out our plan for this week. Its pretty hectic! Making phone calls to turn stuff off, to turn stuff on, and to change addresses. Also, we still have packing to do. Tonight we are having dinner with Tyler and Alli. Tues. night we say good-bye to our small group. Wed. night is Christmas with Andy and Marilee. Thurs. we have dinner plans with Joel and Misty. Friday we pick up the truck and load all of our stuff. Sat. we will spend cleaning our house and doing last minute touch up stuff. Sunday we will attend church in the new Worship Center at NCCTK. Then we will head down to Seattle to pick up Trey and Serah. Monday we will make sure things are in order and show Trey and Serah a little bit of Whatcom County. Tuesday we are off!

Please pray for patience, strength, and energy for us. Also, that everyone will have safe travels. That we will have a contract on the house by the time we leave. Continue to pray for Phil, Amanda, and their 4 kids! For Andy and Marilee b/c they will be on a emotional roller coaster. Bless their hearts they are such troopers! Thank you all so much for all of your prayers and support! Its means so much to us to have such wonderful friends and family!
