Moving Madness

Two weeks from today, we will be leaving FL. 

TWO WEEKS.  Our packers come in just one week and we drive away in two.  WHERE did the time go?  I am so sad to be leaving Florida, but SO thankful to see more details of God's plans for us fall into place.

Today, Alan came home and told me that he had been tagged for a 6 month deployment to the dangerous sandbox.  IF we were not leaving in just two short weeks, HE would be leaving in less than that amount of time to go get trained and spun up. Then he'd be gone for half the year.  THANK YOU, GOD, for protecting our family from that hardship at this time.  Thank you, God for moving us now!

Also today, Alan was able to talk to the housing office in ND and it looks very promising that we will get the house next door to our very close friends who are like family to us!  HOORAY!!!  We trust God's plan for wherever He'd have us live, but it would really bless our families if this were possible, so we have been praying with faith.

Over the next 14 days, moving madness continues around here.  My mom cleaned a TON while she was here which blessed us immensely!  Rubbermaids are filling up all over the house with clothes and linens.  All the walls are bare.  Goodbyes are beginning to be said as we attend events for the last time.   Things are getting checked off our to-do lists.  More cleaning, more packing.  Every day the boys ask, "Are we moving today?"
