It's Official!

Praise the Lord...after trusting in His timing and His way we are so happy to know that we ARE leaving. We knew we were leaving before, but now we have a departure date. Woohoo!

Tom called this morning. He was able to line us up with our very own address. It's kind of funny though. We have two addresses it seems. One for American usage and one for English usage. Tom keeps telling me about how different it is over there and that we'll have to get used to living without some of the everyday luxuries we Americans take for granted here in the States. They don't have big shopping centers like we do here...and of course the whole driving on the wrong side of the road thing. Tom thinks he's found us a car over there which is great. It's a BMW of course! He's still searching for places for us to live. He thinks he knows what area he'd like us to live in though: either Ely or Brandon. His goal is to try to have a place before we get there...

Which reminds me....Will and I are scheduled to fly out of Minn/St. Paul next week Friday, the 23rd at night. Tom was able to get us both a seat, which is awesome because then I can have a break from holding Will. Yay! We'll have a layover in O'hare and then another 6 hour flight to Heathrow putting us in London at about noonish - or 6am our time - on Saturday. I haven't been able to send out for our visas yet, but that is my mission for tomorrow. The postal pack and ship was closed today due to weather. It'll be okay though because they should be back within a week.

For now Will and I are just hanging out at home together and packing when we get the chance!

Lord, thank you for your goodness and for protecting us. Even though things haven't gone the way we wanted them to all the time, you have always given us what is best for us at the time.
