U-PACK

It is the end of a VERY long day. The truck is almost all packed up. There are a few things that we will have to fit in tomorrow. The truck is VERY full so packing it went slow. It was like putting puzzle pieces together to get everything to fit. Tomorrow we will get up early and finish up last minute things and then head out. We would appreciate your prayers that all goes well as we caravan back home. We have to stop at the U.S. border to do paperwork then we have to do more paperwork at the Canadian border. Needless to say tomorrow will be another long day.

Let The Packing Begin

We just got back from getting the U-Haul. We encountered a few snags in the process, one being that one guy wanted to charge us three times the amount then what we were quoted on line. We ended up going to a place that earlier said they didn't have the size we wanted. But when we arrived they had one and we did get the deal that was quoted on the Internet. So now Let The Packing Begin,

Thank-You

Thank-you for praying for Caleb and the different obstacles that he has encountered in making his move back to Canada. Things have now fallen into place for Caleb to be able to move back to Ontario. Vern, Zachary, and I will make a quick trip down to Chicago to help with the move. If all goes well we will be back here Monday. We would appreciate your prayers for safety on the road and that all the paperwork at the border would go smoothly. Since Monday is a holiday here in Canada we could be in for a long wait to reenter Canada.

Happy Anniversary Caleb and Kristina

Happy 4th Anniversary Caleb and Kristina! We are so sorry you aren't able to be together to celebrate. but in a few days you can celebrate together. Four years ago you started a journey in life together. Although you haven't gone too far down that path yet, you have already experienced a few things in life together. Continue to invest in your relationship with each other and keep that fire burning. We love you and are here cheering you on!

Casualties?

We made it home safe after over 14,000 km. traveled. Thanks so much for all your prayers for us. It was SOOOO good to connect with so many of you. You are such an encouragement to us! This morning it was time to count the casualties. Unfortunately we returned to four dead plants. However, Cuddles is still alive! Yes!

Family Bonding Time

While we have been in Chicago we have spent some days at my parents place. Since my dad is my mom's caregiver he has not been able to get to any projects around the house that need to get done. Therefore the family and my brother Charles worked together on some projects outside. (I was working on some things inside so wasn't able to bond in the same way as everyone else.) Thanks for all your hard work, FAMILY! You did a GREAT job!

Please Pray

Caleb and Kristina are in the process of moving back to Ontario. Kristina is already up in Ontario. Caleb is in Chicago and there are two things holding up the move. 1.) He is waiting for some important paper to come through 2.)Before he can move everything out of his apartment he needs stairs to be built so he can move everything out. We would REALLY appreciate your prayers that in the next couple of days these things would come together so that he can move.

How Much Do You REALLY want a Clean Car?

Just when you thought it was safe to take your car through the car wash, you realize what a dangerous task it really is.

A Walk Down Memory Lane

We have been storing some barrels at one of my sisters' house for many years. Yesterday I sorted through them giving a lot of things away. However, I did find some treasures in there. I found my high school class ring, high school year books, old pictures, an old diary, old glasses, Caleb's 1st. year baby calendar, the baby shoes I had for my children, and many more gems. It was a lot of fun to take a Walk Down Memory Lane.

Take a Second Look

I thought I would post a picture of some interesting signs or things we saw on our trip out West that I didn’t put under any other post.
