Moving Update and Saying goodbye to Rags

A copy of the email I wrote to friends/family post our move out date and all the different ways in which we've felt God's hand of mercy on our huge transition.  Greetings from Idaho!! Time for another update...Lots has happened since my last email to all of you.  We finally made it out of our house so the new owners could occupy it late Monday evening. Monday was a long, hot and emotionally exhausting day. With the help of so many friends, it was easier.  *Thank you Darcey for helping clean the kitchen and even a toilet, while also knowing exactly what we needed by coming back by and surprising us with ice cream bars. * Thank you to Guesly and Sara for coming by last minute in the evening when we knew we weren’t going to get the rest of the packing and cleaning done by the time it was dark. You were both a God send.   On top of all we had going on, our almost 16yr old border collie Rags declined over the weekend. We knew the day would come but obviously were hoping he wild make

Transitioning to Idaho...

I have started a stream of emails to those who have questioned where our family is at with our transition to Idaho.  It's helped me remember who I've told what.  We've had so much support and many have asked how they can pray for us.  I decided that putting it all into blog posts will help me remember it for years to come.     So many of you have asked for updates on our plan to move to Idaho. Although it feels much less personal, I decided the easiest way to keep all of you informed as through a central email where I can keep track of what I’ve said to who. Less stressful for me! Although some of you have already heard the start of our journey to Idaho, I’ll include some details for continuity... *After deciding to step out in faith and make the move we listed our house for sale by owner on 6/12 *We excepted an offer on 6/17 that wasn’t full price but we felt sufficient given that they to didn’t have a realtor. They listed their home on the market just before we sign paper
