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! :)
