Our cute new "house-to-be"






WA, here we come!!! :)

So, despite the fact that we are moving in less than a week I have somehow found the time to update this darn blog :) Mostly I'm just really bored because most everything that I need to do has to be taken care of during business hours and Ben is at class tonight.
Anyway, we are getting all ready for our big move to Washington and I can't wait to get there! Of course, I'm really sad to be leaving all of the wonderful friends that we have made here in Missouri, but I am so excited to see what God has in store for us out in DuPont. This week we are finalizing all of the details of the move and my parents are arriving here in MO on Friday. My sweet mother has volunteered to drive all the way from Saint Robert, MO to DuPont, WA with Hunter and I so we didn't have to go alone. She's the best! The three of us will head out on Sunday morning and it should take us about four days of driving to get there. I'm not looking forward to 32+ hours in the car with a 2 year old.
As of right now it looks like the moving company will come to pack the house on Monday the 15th and they will pick up our household goods on the 16th. Poor Ben has finals that week for school, but hopefully he will have time to study while the moving company is there. Ben should be able to head out to Washington on Wednesday or Thursday and meet us up there. He's dreading the drive with the two cats, but I don't think that I could handle the kid and the cats. I think that he still has the better end of this deal :)
We have no idea when the movers will get to our new house, but we are praying for Friday the 19th so that we can hurry up and get settled as soon as possible! I'm anxious to see our cute new house since we have only seen it in pictures so far. I will try to post some pics once we get unpacked and the house looks presentable! :)
I'm sure there are a million other fun things to put on here, but right now I'm drawing a blank so I guess that's all for now. Please pray for safe travels for all of us and not much snow on our route. I love snow, but not when I have that far to drive.
Adios for now! em
