23 June 2008 - WOW!!!!!!!!! Be still my heart!

Looking at the countdown timer, I just still can't believe it! :) We have 2 weeks and a few days left here in Colorado! I can't believe I'll be in Germany in less than 50 days, I'll be in GERMANY!!!!! Be still my beating heart! I'm overflowing in thankfulness that we are going. I know that beyond a shadow of a doubt God has His wonderful hand in this. I've been wanting to go my whole life and have had chances to go before...but it's not worked out. Now, we're really and truly going!

We have been working on different things for each of us. Hubby has school to focus on and pass. (If he doesn't pass...we pay for the class..yucky!) Plus, he still has day-to-day work and he will be Out Processing over these next 2 weeks. The kids are doing well, listening to us and getting more and more excited each and every day. I know they want to leave now! :D I am working on cleaning and getting things to be ready and easier for our movers. We are bringing everything, EVERYTHING, from the upstairs to the downstairs so they can just come to our living room and pack everything there. Otherwise, they'll be going up and down the stairs all day long...and tracking dirt up and down too. No, thanks. Saving me from cleaning, and saving their backs from going up and down stairs all day. :)

I hope everyone has a great week!
