Pack it Up - Unpack it!

When Tyler and Evie were little they used to watch a video and the cartoon farmer would sing this song, "Pig it up, unpig it, unpiggn' the pond, unpiggn' the pond". It was a great little annoying song. You know, one of those you get so tired of, yet will be singing later as you go through the line at WalMart. You all know what I mean. I have been packing, moving, unpacking since August. I was sitting here wondering if Mrs. Bush was home debating over what to keep and what to give away. Will she have enough space bags to efficiently pack all of the President's jammies away for the trip. Will she remember how to pack the u-haul so that her breakables do not get tossed around while they travel. Ha Ha Anyway, here we are, packing again, weighing, sorting. Do we really need it right now? We have touched everything we have ever owned and asked that question. All this and to think Friday we will be in Africa. The reality is all around us and we are feeling the tug of our hearts as we prepare to leave. How we love the people we are going to, but that love is no greater than the love we feel for those here. It is in these moments that I am thankful that God has clearly shown us that we must go.

THANK YOU to those who have sent your love and support! What would we do without you all!
