Moving Day
I did not look at my watch when John returned. I think it was somewhere near 10 AM. Everyone quickly began carrying boxes and furniture outside. We worked without a lunch break until sometime around 3:30. I did send the girls to the store for some drinks and chips. Healthy, I know.
Thanks to John’s expert packing skills, everything fit. Praise the Lord! The sun did not shine all day, but neither did it rain. Praise the Lord! The customs agent did not give us any hassle what so ever. If you have ever lived in a foreign country, you know that this is a true miracle. Praise the Lord!
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Psalm 7:17

Oh boy Karen! Wow! I don't envy you - but yippee - it looks like the container is almost full at those end pictures!
I am starting to get excited about the possibility of seeing y'all again.
We will be traveling to WV in late April/early May - and then there for 2 weeks and back to TX - so maybe we can see you then! I know everything is uncertain - but just thought I'd put a bug in your ear!
Oh yeah - and in case I haven't told you lately - even though we're mostly friends "online" and blogging buddies - you have been a super source of support for me during one of the hardest times of my life. Your friendship is priceless - although non-traditional. It is such a precious thing to me.
Thank you!
How exciting!! Keep keeping us updated and I'll keep praying for you!!
It must be exciting to be so close! I liked the magnetic letters stuck to the bottom of the fridge, I'm sure I have the same thing!
Glad all went well today. Been saying prayers for you all.
Glad it didn't rain. Yep, we lived in Germany for almost 4 yrs, so I understand completely. Chips and drinks are ok once in awhile : ). do that myself sometimes.
Take care.

What a hoot about the fridge magnets.
Praise God for answered prayer! No rain, yippie! So when will you make it to the states? And then, when will your stuff arrive?
Wow that was packed to the brim. So now you're off. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Looks like you guys did a terrific job with the packing. The container was almost full.

Love you and anxiously counting down the now single digit days!

I'm so glad that everything fit, and that it didn't rain and that the customs officials didn't hassle or bribe you! God answers prayer!
