Well, we are in the thick of it now! Getting ready to move sure does make for a messy house! But that just means that I don't need to clean it (for now)!
We have had some major milestones accomplished in the last week or so:
- Meeko was transported to his new place up in Petosky - Thank you Lord for good weather!
- Daisy has found a wonderful home down near Jim's parents with a lady and Nibbler (her other dog that is crazy in love with his new girlfriend)!
- Doodle has found a great home with a friend from church and their 2 other dogs. She fit right into the pack.
Christmas is almost upon us. I hope you are all enjoying the time spent with family. We sure are (Mom is here, but not feeling well so please pray for her). We want to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and great celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Today we got our first big snow of the year. There were 6-8 inches when we got up this morning and it was heavy! Jim shoveled the porch and then had Trevor do the sidewalk (it's good to have a useful child)! We made it to church this morning, but are now encamped in the house and plan on making cookies and getting some things done to progress the move. Life is good!
We have scheduled a "Moving Day" for January 8th, and are looking for some abled body help. If you think you might be able to come, please let us know. We will start around 10:00 (get here earlier if you want some good coffee)! We will need to move some furniture and boxes to the upper level of the garage. It should not take too long if we can get a few bodies to help. We will throw on some hamburgers or brats when we are done. So don't worry - you will not go hungry!
Love to you all!

What an amazing day! It is Dec 1st and we are on our way. Today we rented the house to a wonderful family. They will move in sometime later. We feel blessed by them and I hope they by us. We also purchased our tickets to Nairobi today (non-refundable)! So it is a done deal! We get back from Colorado on Jan 22nd, celebrate Timothy's birthday on the 23rd, do laundry on the 24th and leave on the 25th. It feels very cemented now. We still need a home for Doodle though. You can see her Bio on the "animals" page. Please ask all your friends and family if they need a great dog for a few years. We also need to finish our fundraising. But it is coming together with the help of all of you. We feel blessed! And we need to pack up the house and pack our few bags. Now, I can do what I can do and God will do the rest, as Psalms 86:10 says "For you are great and do wonderous things; You alone are God." We sure have seen that happen in the last few months.
Thank you for all of your prayers!
WE ARE ON OUR WAY!
