The last couple weeks have been filled with lots of organizing, packing, consolidating, selling, cleaning, and shipping to prepare for our big move to Germany, and even some traveling mixed in the whole thing. A few weeks ago the girls and I took a trip to Cali, then we all went to Orlando to ship our car (and go to Disney), and then off to Utah for a week. We have barley had time to stop and smell the flowers. On top of all this we have been trying to sell one of our cars (Sal) for the last couple of weeks and no bites. We were starting to panic a little... or a lot. We really didn't think we would sell her. Monday we decided to say a special prayer that we would sell the car. And lo and behold, we sold the car today! The day before we move out of the country. Truly a miracle. Seriously the day before! Wow! Tonight as I sat on the beach and watched Mark play with our sweet girls in the water I thought about how blessed my little family has been. I feel like everything always works out one way or another. The Lord seriously always looks out for us. I really enjoyed pondering about all of the tender mercies that I have had in my life lately. I feel like I don't always get a lot of time to just sit there and ponder. I guess you have time for stuff like that when you have no car and are stuck on base and your husband is watching the kids.
So the last couple of days we have been staying at the TLF (Temporary Lodging Facility) on base here. It is super duper small, we discovered a few cockroaches and have only a few raccoons scratching at our doors. Needless to say very excited to get to Germany and find a new place to call home. We are all packed up and ready for the long flight in the morning. I can't believe we are leaving tomorrow. It seems like we have been preparing for this for a long time. We are all very excited but also pretty nervous for the big change. Germany here we come!
