8 Days and Counting

 IN the last post, our last month before moving was mentioned... ...now here is the evening of our 8th day left! We have just been tumbling through the days, scrambling to keep up with all that God is putting together for our new life in Halifax and in getting us there. Since last posting:

Our Ottawa house conditionally sold!

Mom and Dad have spent lots of time planning all the ins and outs of the actual moving travel:

•  a friend to help drive the U-Haul
•  a friend to stay with along the way 
•  the correct dates that match all the moving pieces and requirements.

We've attempted to fit in numerous goodbye meals with people here so the evenings this week will be mostly spent with others.

Aiden and Mom and Dad spend 2 days painting a rental property and helping a friend move.

Grace and Jasmin are working hard at their school work so they can easily afford the days off while we move.

We attempted a purchase in Halifax that fell through on inspection - and now are working through another purchase that is extremely wild and so above and beyond what we could have imagined it must be God! All the same, it is keeping us extremely busy with calls back and forth to Halifax trying to arrange everything correctly and nothing is firmly established yet.

BUT

We've set a date (departure Aug 13) and are firming up travel logistics.

Aiden is attending TeenTech day camp at OttawaU this week. We signed him up way back when we thought this summer might be boring for him!😆

Thanks to our crazy June, the packing is almost a peaceful process as it is mostly all done already.

We're all finally quite excited to be going and what God is preparing for us there.
