We all went to Arizona for a nice 2 week vacation. We spent our time just relaxing and enjoying family! What a blessing that time was. The kids were in the pool about 3 times a day.... I think they started to grow gills. :) It was nice to get away and have this time together before our move to Elgin. We stayed with John's parents and spent much of our time just hanging out at their house. We were also able to visit with my family while we were there....we had a GREAT time!
Now...back to reality. We are working hard at packing up the house. Today the kids and I packed a ton. We plan to make a trip to Northern Iowa on Thursday and take some things up to a storage unit we have secured up there. The packing just takes so much time....I put together a list each day as to what I would like to get done and of course we are never able to complete the list. I know that we will get it all done, but just wish it was going faster than it really is.
I originally thought that the kids and I would start school at the beginning of next week, but with packing and my mind being taken in so many different directions we decided to wait until we get to Elgin to start. We will just not have as much time off around the holidays to make up for starting a few weeks later than normal. I am ready though. I have all the lesson plans ready and have purchased all the stuff that we will need. The only thing that I have left to do is to print out the CPI forms and turn those in. We have decided that since we will only be in Elgin for 5 months that we will complete the CPI's forms and file them here in Iowa.
We are working on a support letter to send out. So things you can pray for.....packing, the sale of our home, raising our support, our upcoming move, the training while in Elgin, and the church plant. Thank you for taking the time to pray for our family!
