Well, the contract on our house looks all but for certain. We are scheduled to close on the house on Friday, February 22. We will be packing it all up and convoying it east next week. We are still looking for an old black Trans Am to run interference for us to keep the fuzz off our tail. We have somewhere in the neighborhood of 62' of trailer space and one small UPS truck (owned by a local airline). Plus three pick-up trucks pulling the trailers. It is truly amazing how much stuff we collect. Next Wednesday after lunch we will be pulling into D.C. We can use all the help we can get to help unload. Free food and drinks will be provided. Anyone wishing to help out with online seminary classes during next weeks move... just call me for a reading assignment, quiz review or essay topic.
On a less serious note... I did get to do some muddin' this week. First time since I traded the Jeep in, little over a year ago. I was actually the navigator. Hooked up the tow strap and talked smack was really all I did but it was fun. Thanks to my ole Air Force buddy, Captain B.Fargin for providing the mud and the stuck vehicle.
Tomorrow is one of the first of many lasts for me over the next week. Tomorrow will be the last Pizza Hut lunch for our gang. This may seem trivial to some but pretty much every Friday of my life for the last several years was spent at the local Hut. We go there and catch up and share our hopes, dreams and fears. We eat pizza and drink diet drinks. We walk in to "our" table and sit down even if there are buses full of people waiting to get in. We eat from the buffet from our table not the bar. They make special pizzas for us. We get coupons and pay next to nothing for great pizza and even better fellowship. Tomorrow will be our last regular visit. I am sure that if I am ever in this town on a Friday in the future it will involve a Hut trip.
That's enough of that...

Can't help you with the Pizza Hut deal, but I do know of a certain 13 year old who would be more than happy to skip school on Wed. afternoon and help unload. If you think you could keep up with him! And since it is a direct circumstance to God's calling, I am sure we could claim religious beliefs and get him excused from classes. Ha! He helped move the last person out of the house that you are most likely moving into, so he could help fill it back up!
Take care, you are all in my prayers.
I can offer a gold T/A but not a black one. You just have to fill it with transmission fluid and get it started!!!
Bitter sweet...Leaving friends to join old ones and make new ones!
We are so excited about you guys being here...Especially little Hellard. She can't wait to introduce Emma to Tango the horse!
