While the excitement and anticipation is obviously still there for our trip, the reality of preparing for it is setting in. Rent the house, sell the car, rent a storage unit, organize our finances, decide what to pack, etc., etc. Ugh. Today's chore has been sorting through some of the clothes we need to get rid of, those we want to store here, and those we want to bring. This is just the beginning of this process but I guess you need to start somewhere. We also went shopping for luggage today. It truly is unbelievable how much the stuff costs. Oh well, we're going to need it so we went ahead and bought 5 large suitcases that are just under the allowable size for airlines. The extra $150 per oversized bag is not a surprise fee we want to be faced with on travel day so we measured the bags before purchasing. The girls had a great time "shopping" and had claimed their own uniquely colored suitcases in a matter of seconds. Surprisingly there wasn't any conflict involved....there were three to choose from and each girl was happy with their choice. Another evidence that God is at work. Seriously.
Just for fun, we added two new things to our blog. One, attached to this post, is a Google Earth video flight from our house to the school we'll be working at. Enjoy. The other is that you can leave a voice message for us anytime as long as you have a microphone on your computer. Press the blue "Click to Call Bryan and Kim" button and it will start recording whatever you want to say. When you are done, press the button again and BINGO, it is automatically sent to us. We'd love to hear your voice in addition to your comments/emails. Just as a reminder, feel free to subscribe to or "follow" our blog. We'd love to keep you updated with what we're up to.
