September plans

Today we begin the final countdown, although there are still tickets to book, and visas to have in hand before we can go, everything is moving in the direction of departure on September 18th.

We have had a great weekend, the focus of it being Rhiannon's baptism, a curry luncheon and Alan here to stay for three nights.  It ends today with a gathering with the Livingstons in Xenia, trying to get things packed up and then relax for a short while.  I am working Tuesday and Thursday of this week, and then I become officially unemployed.  It is a new thing for me!  

And we have a time set to pack the container.... we will begin to move things to the loading dock on September 8th, and then the container will arrive on September 9th.  Randy has things on order right now that are supposed to arrive in Bryant by September 10th, and that will be it!  We cannot leave on the 11th due to the time it takes to get our visas, and a slight problem in communications across the Atlantic.  But we anticipate all of it will be resolved this next week, and we should be on the plane September 18th.  

Your prayers make it all possible, and now we need to have you pray for us to remember everything we keep thinking we need to remember!  The vehicle needs a little more attention, the house still has lots of things to fix, and the paperwork to transfer things needs to be done, so the final days will be full!  We need to make a trip to Huntington, we need to spend some more time with family and friends, and we need to write letters!  Your support is so greatly appreciated!
