Praise the Lord! We have a renter! And exactly a week before Josh is to leave. I am so amazed by God's goodness in this situation.
1) we have a renter
2) they're a military family who also have two rentals and are generously helping us through this process
3) They want to sign a 5 year lease!
This takes so much off of our minds and eases this leaving. I would have felt very nervous had the house not been rented or sold. The house gets packed up in a couple of days and yet I am not feeling worried, nervous, or anything! I truly think that this is God's Spirit, working in me the Peace which surpasses all comprehension. I know that I have a while before I leave, but it will all be ok.
Another thing we decided is to keep the dogs with my parents and then I will come back and get them. Right now, we have no house in Hawaii and I don't know what we will do with them once we get there. It will be a lot easier on them (and us) if we go out there, find a house and get everything settled. I will miss my babies terribly, but this is what's best for them .
So, We are T minus 5 days from our stuff being picked up, T minus 6 days from Josh leaving and less than three weeks till I board a plane to Hawaii! God is so good!

T minus two weeks (Give or take!)
It is May 8th - The countdown has officially begun.
As it stands right now, our household goods are being picked up in less than two weeks. And the day after that, Joshua leaves for Hawai'i. As we get closer, I get more and more excited. Who knows how that will be on the day of my flight.
I can only imagine how people did this way back when this country was first started. They packed up their belongings, their memories, their family, and traveled across unknown territories to start over. My journey is much less intimidating.
Right now, there are several things I'm praying for, some of which I won't post here, but I'll label it as a silent prayer.
1) Silent prayer regarding the house
2) travel mercies for the dogs. Since we are taking them, the process for getting animals into the Hawaii is arduous with many details which can go unnoticed. I'm praying that all of then have gone noticed and that my fur babies will be able to come home with me when I arrive in Hawaii versus being quarantined. Also prayers that the $$ damage will be minimal.
3) Our cats are currently in Dallas and should be making their way to Hawaii in August sometime. I'm praying that all those details will be worked out as well.
4) Praying for God's will to be done in another silent prayer area.
5) That we will find a house quickly and that it will meet our needs as far as commute to Josh's work and my school.
As time grows short, I'm trying to maximize the time I spend with family and friends. These times of sweet communion will not be available for a long time! :)

To Hawai'i we go!
Well, I did it. I spilled the beans. We're headed to Hawai'i! I couldn't be more excited! I decided to create a blog to catalog all of our travels and such. It's the first time I will be leaving Maryland and the first time going anywhere really.
The Lord has really worked in my life in incredible ways this past year. He laid some verses on my heart about a year and a half ago. They were Psalm 46:10 and Psalm 37:4. "Be Still and know that I am God" and " Delight yourselves in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Well, God has done those things. He remained faithful to me even in my darkest hour when my hope and faith were the weakest. I have seen him do the impossible in my life and I am constantly marveling at the way in which He works.
One of the things that I would like to catalog in this is not only the things that Josh and I embark upon in our married life, but also the way in which God chooses to use situations in my life, to challenge and test my faith.
Our wedding was this past weekend and we had nothing short of a blast. It is truly an amazing thing to see two people God brings together and two families he unites.
I wish I had something substantial to say, but I think I will leave it at that. :) Mahalo!
