The Countdown Begins!

Well we are at that point again... we are counting down the days until the packers come!

Friday (May 1) I am heading back to IN with the kids (except Xavier, because he is already in IN with Gma/pa Ottinger) and staying the night with my brother, Andrew, and his wife, Sandy, and their son, Andy. We are planning on staying a couple nights with them before heading to Jerry's parent's house. The kids will stay there for most of the week, while I fly out on Wednesday (May 6) to go to Las Vegas!! Jerry is going to be meeting me there on Thursday. Friday he is doing a retirement ceremony and on Saturday (May 9) we fly out to come back home. Mother's Day we will get to see both of our mothers before we head back to OH for our final week in our house before the packers come! Our plan is to come back to IN on Saturday (May 16) to see family and drop off the kids so that we can have a little less stress while the packers are here. Then on Sunday we are going to celebrate my brother, Michael's birthday and head to OH! The next morning, May 18, begins our adventure in moving!!

Jerry and I will be in OH with Caleb finishing up our house cleaning and all that we want to take with us. On Friday, May 22, we check out of our house at 2:30 and will hopefully be free and clear for the holiday weekend! Then we are going to be hanging around with family for a couple of weeks before we head to GA to find our new home.

Part of us is hoping to find a place to live before we get there... but that is really hard to do when you are not there to actually look. We have some pretty great friends down there that run to different houses for us to look at them to see if they will work for us or not. That is helping us narrow down our prospects pretty quickly! We know that God has a place for us and it will be right where he wants us. However, the not knowing of where that is... sometimes catches up with our human side! We are trusting and resting in that trust that there is a home for us.

Well, I need to go fold some more clothes and sort some more things! Off I go!!
