3 days left

9 suitcases are packed.
brookie has flown in from Texas to help us out and keep us running and having fun.
our visas just came in TODAY...a little too close in our opinion!
our van just SOLD today...to jeff westrup! thank you!
our Will has been notarized and sent off.
the last on our lists are being crossed off.
people are blessing us left and right.
kindy got me a massage last night...unbelievable!
it's all coming together
we are excited!
soon we will be on that plane!

on the other hand...
we are doing "lasts"...saying a lot of "see ya laters"
things hit me wierd and i can start crying at the little things.
i will miss "here"
i will miss people...a whole lot of people
i will miss a lot of this life that we have here...and we are sad to go.
this is the hard part...saying good bye to great relationships....and hope they survive the miles and miles between us! i am so glad that we have better internet and ways to communicate...but nothing is like sitting on couches and sharing hearts face to face. will that come again? it better! i hope so! we need our people! so here's a cheer to all of you for being close enough to us to even read this! thanks for listening and knowing us and loving on us! and many of you are already miles apart from us and we keep going strong...so let's keep it going!

our next post will most likely be on the other side of the world!...we leave on Oct. 2 @ 1:40 a.m. and we'll be in the air for 25 hours...we will land in Bali and stay there for a couple of days before going on to Salatiga...and our nanny will be traveling through all of this with us. we will meet her for the first time at the airport on monday night before we board the plane...this will be a great first impression!

ok...till we meet again!
totally sitting in HIS lap!
