2 months from now, we are jetting off for our new life in
Zambia. With the rate this summer is
flying by, it is going to be here before we know it. I mean, really, how is the 4th of
July over with already? CRAZY!
It is all becoming super real for us though for these TOP 10
reasons:
1. We moved out of our house this past Sunday.
(tears…)
2.
We now call my in-laws RV our home (so awesome
they have this and our letting us use it!)
3.
We are having a going away party tomorrow at the
farm (since it was a good weekend for everyone to come with the holiday!)
4.
We are living out of our storage containers that
we will bring to Zambia with us and live out of there as well.
5.
We got our last set of fingerprints taken to get
approved for adoption. (yes, we had to get them twice-you think our government
would keep them on file or something since fingerprints don’t change-but pretty
sure they just wanted some more money out of us-I digress…)
6.
We purchased a lot in Prairie Trail (Ankeny)-so
we have somewhere to build a home when we get back. (or we can just sell it if God calls us to do
something different!)
7.
The president of Gospelink is in Zambia and he
is working on getting Mickey his work visa so he can hit the ground running
when we arrive.
8.
The founder of Give Life has been working hard
on our home in Zambia-getting us an air-conditioner, putting in ceiling board,
building us kitchen cabinets, and some painting and cleaning.
9.
Our flights are booked for September 3rd
at 5:15 out of Chicago and itinerary is London for 2 days, Hungary for 7 (to
visit missionary friends), back to London, then down to Lusaka, Zambia on September
14th.
10. Summer is flying by and I can’t slow it down…I
just know September 3rd will be here before I know it.
There you have it! I
will be blogging more frequently soon to keep you all updated on all that is
going on! Life was pretty crazy this past week with moving out and getting
adjusted to life in the RV…thinking a post on that will be next. J
