Packing!

Today marks 6 weeks and 2 days from our scheduled departure date! Lately, I've been sorting through our things and trying to decide what we need to throw away, what we need to sell, and what we need to keep and pack! 

You'd think that with us being married for just under a year, we wouldn't have much extra stuff to get rid of, but it's surprising how small things can really add up! So many wonderful people have given and loaned us things while we've lived here and it's been great! But we need to pare things down a bit for our move. :)
We've been able to get some banana boxes from Walmart for our packing, which has been really nice. Nothing like free packing supplies!

 We are really starting to get more and more excited as our time to leave draws closer. We have been so blessed to live here in Oklahoma for our first year of marriage. I've loved getting to be close to Lee's family and getting to know them. The brethren here have been so good to us and we are sad to say goodbye, on one hand. On the other hand, though, we have so many wonderful opportunities stretching out before us and we know that this time spent at school will help us grow in many, many ways.

Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare for our move and wrap things up here. We'll try to keep things up to date here on our blog as events come and go!

In Him,
Julia

  2. Too bad you don't have much experiencing packing! ;) haha! I remember our move to TN way back when...1986 to be exact. Very fond memories for Dad and me, and we hope it will be a wonderful memory for you and Lee in the years to come.
