transition.

Well, we are transitioning into our 15-month long transition time. Attempting to move out of our house and pack up our belongings into three categories (camp, nome, storage), while also trying to finish out living our normal lives is a lot trickier than I would have expected. How much time do I devote to church meetings for changes that will be in effect after I leave, while Lydia is at home packing? How do I continue to stay 100% motivated at work with a week left, while completely distracted by thoughts of what we have to do to make the move as quick and smooth as possible? But, its going well…and it looks like we might be able to get out of our house this Saturday, a week earlier than expected. Here is what has been accomplished so far, a before and after picture of our den:

Also, our support is going pretty well, I need to try and get another letter out within the next few days. I had a phone conversation with kicy late last week, and we figured out that most people we appealed to are probably waiting until September approaches until they pledge support. Also, I’ve found some pretty decent insurance that will cut our expenses almost in half, so we won’t have to raise as much as we were originally expecting. Keep praying for our move, for our sanity, and for our support to keep coming in.

peace out..
