Counting Down

Today, I officially started our count down, we have 103 days until we leave Greece. Our departure date has been tentatively set for January 23rd. However, this could change slightly, depending on if Matt's replacement gets delayed or his boss has a problem with when he is planning to leave.

So, now that we know when we are leaving, your next question is most likely, where are you going? My answer to this is: we don't know. They have not started posting jobs yet, but when they do and we know where we are going we will let you all know. Please don't ask us if we know yet, because that only adds to our stress. It's one of the questions I hate most, because it is the one we get asked the most.

The fact that we don't know where we are going yet is causing us some stress as we like to make our plans, but the purpose of starting the count down is to begin getting prepared. There is a lot to do before the movers come and still stuff that needs to be cleaned out. The kids both have "junk" drawers, where they throw a bunch of paper and stuff that they don't need, but refuse to part with. They have toys that they move with us each time we move, that they never play with! I told them that when we move back they are both old enough to organize their own rooms, and they should start cleaning stuff out, unless they want to be overwhelmed with junk as soon as we move into our next house. They both spent some time organizing this morning and Elijah plans to do more tomorrow :) I hate putting things off to the last minute and I know that while 103 days sounds like a lot, we will be busy with school and stuff, so thinking about it now will ease some anxiety later.

If you happen to think about us, pray that jobs start opening up and pray for God's wisdom that we pick the one that will be best for our family. We are really hoping this will be our final move and that Matt will be very happy in the job he lands, so we can stay in one place. They kids need the stability and I imagine it would be good for all of us. Thanks friends :)
