Our house has been in a flurry the last couple of days as we get ready to pack up our lives and head for MN. We've had a lot of support as we prepare to leave, but I would say the greatest support has come in the form of professional packers and movers. The fact that I don't need to stress about boxing everything up and making sure it all fits snuggly on a moving truck is a luxury that is priceless. It has allowed us to be more fully present with friends and even allowed Brian to go camping this weekend with some of the fellas. Brian took Bella along and he got to learn more about her personality. She loves orientering and retrieving all of the discs during a game of frisbee golf (which makes playing a bit hard). Brian felt like God was telling him last week that there's more to be done here in NJ/Philadeliphia. That can be interpreted in a lot of ways since cleaning and packing come to mind right away, but we've come to experience it more in regards to our relationships with friends. It's been important to Brian and I to put aside the to-do list and spend as much time with friends as possible. They have been the ones that have shaped us the most in our time out here. We've been blessed to have developed such meaningful friendships in a short time and can only hope that we find a similar community when we return home.
And on to another bit of exciting news: our offer on the house we looked at in St. Paul was accepted. All that stands in the way of having a permanent home is a housing inspection. But that feels like ages away since we have moving, a 20 hour road trip with the dog, a wedding, moving into temporary housing and another wedding still ahead of us.
