if you haven't noticed...

29 January 2010

our countdown over there -->
22 DAYS! that's how long we have left in japan.
it's crazy and overwhelming and exciting and scary all rolled into one.

we've been busily trying to pack up our house and my classroom and are feeling some of the stress of moving across the country, but let me say that i am SOOOO incredibly thankful that ben is home and we are able to work on all of this together!!!! God is good. my amazing husband doesn't have to leave me for months at a time anymore!!!! it's hard to believe that part of our marriage is over, but i can't express in words how thankful i am to be finished with that part of life.

if you would, you can pray for us as we wrap up the last of things here and head on to new adventures that await us.....

thanks friends!!

I am sure that is such an amazing feeling to have him home, knowing he won't be leaving again! Good luck packing, especially getting the mattress out the window ;)

Kristi,
I am so happy and excited for you. How crazy and strange it must be to know you won't be separated from Ben via a ship any more. I hope these next few weeks go well for you as you go through the process of moving out and all the stuff that goes with it. I know the day before we actually flew away from Japan was as crazy as can be with all the paperwork and car sales and such. I hope that went or is going smoothly for you and won't be a last minute thing. I really hope you enjoy that last few days there without be really stressed. I'm also hoping that we'll get a chance to see you once you're back in the states. If you wanna come vacation at the beach you're welcome here!
