It has been a very busy couple of weeks. Jen had her birthday on July 30th, our anniversary was on Aug 3rd and we are currently in the process of moving. It feels like we have been in transition for quite some time and it is starting to get a little bit old. We are both very much looking forward to having all of our support raised, all of our things placed into storage and finally getting settled in Kaunas. Unfortunately for that to happen it means we need to start saying goodbye to all the people we love so dearly. As you can see this is a bittersweet moment in our lives.
Jen decided that we should do something a little bit different on her birthday so early on Sunday morning we hoped in the car and drove up the gorge to Dog mountain. It was 7.6 miles of excruciating pain. She is so lucky to have such an amazing husband who is willing to go and do such silly things with her.
For our anniversary (4 years for those who are counting) we decided to do something we both enjoy. We dressed up and went to a very nice dinner and had a wonderful time. We decided to try out Riverview. Located on the Sandy river where Haggars used to be it was amazing. Great atmosphere and wonderful food. We sat outside on the deck overlooking the river and really enjoyed an evening of remembering God's faithfulness over the last four years.
And now on to the move. We have to be out of our house by the 13th and once again we are trying to decide where we are going to store all of the stuff we aren't taking with us and what exactly we should take with us and which of the 5 places we have our stuff we should store it at. All of which we will forget in the next two years so if your one of the very kind people who generously offered to store our things for us please remind us when we get back that you have our stuff or your going to end up keeping it.
As far as support goes we are at 68% and really encouraged by what God has done. Thanks for your prayers.
