Final Countown

So, it's like a bunch of lasts now...

Our last week of meals made out of our regular groceries for a while.
Our last trip to wal-mart before we go. (too good to be true?)
Our last movie at the theater as a family of 3. (Prince Caspian--awesome)
The last time I will re-pack that huge blue duffel bag (probably not!)
Last time I'll hang out with my friends for 2 months!

I'm feeling really excited/nervous/stressed right now. And hungry...
Which probably doesn't help.

We leave in 5 days. It's pretty surreal now.

In other news...

The Assemblies of God has a wonderful program called Speed the Light (STL) that gives cars to missionaries. We are considered missionaries even though we work here in the USA because we are on a college campus, not a church. So we had a truck from STL. They have now exchanged it with us for a 2008 Toyota Sienna van. Woohoo! I was worried about having to pack 3 carseats into my little bitty car. (Actually, not even possible--I tried it out one day.) But we will be ok now! God uses a variety of ways to provide when you are doing what He wants. When we first called about getting a van, we were told it would probably be a bit of a wait to get one. But nope! Greg picked it up today. Thanks STL and thanks Jesus...and thanks Allen, if you read this, cuz I know you pulled some strings! :)

I'm gonna go pack and cook dinner, not necessarily in that order.
