Signing off...

The big day is here. We're leaving in the morning for Pennsylvania, so I'm signing off from Texas.
Our bags are packed. Well, almost. Our stuff is in storage. Well, almost. We'll wake up early in the morning and tie up some loose ends. Another trip to the storage building. Stuff, stuff, stuff our van with all our gear and then we'll hit the road. First stop will be somewhere between Little Rock and Memphis. Second stop is the Rouse House in Tennessee. Third stop is Louiseville. It seems that Kentucky has lured our friends, one by one, so we have lots of people to see. Then we'll pull in to Reading on Wednesday, Lord willing.
Tonight marks the last night in our little house. It's a bit sad, I must admit, even with all the troubles we've had. We have so many memories here. If all goes according to plan, our house will be on the market very soon will be sold by the time we get back, Lord willing. Maybe I'll blog the details of our master plan soon.
For now, I must rest. It is super-duper late (or, rather, early) and I must be up in a few hours to finish up.
Good-bye, Texas. We will miss you!

Sorry I didn't get to come by and see you yesterday. I called a few times but I'm sure you were busy. We'll come by sometime today to pick up the toys. Thank you so much for your friendship and for supporting us when we just moved here and were dealing with all the craziness of getting Jayden home. You guys have been such a blessing to us! We love you and look forward to having you back soon. You are NOT allowed to stay in PA! :)

Erin, Chad, A.K., Max, and Jake,
I miss you already and you aren't even gone. What a full week you have had packing and getting things ready for the big move.

I pray for a safe and fun trip as you begin making your way to Pa. early in the morning.

Can't wait to hear all about your plans, your trip to your new home, and how BEAUTIFUL it all is. Have a wonderful time the next few months and Chad, I know God has great things in store for you.

Love to you all,
Sandra

Hard to believe that neither of us will live on Lackland/Moore after today. It was a good few years...we'll miss you guys. By the way, Chad, they play basketball 3 mornings a week at my new school...I'm saved.
