Big Bad Diary Days

Today being Thursday is a day full of anxiety and excitment! Tomorrow this is our schedule:

8am - Go to the new house (Everything in being connected)
8:30am - Emilie and Levi arrive at the new house
8:45am - Joe leaves for graduation rehersal
10:30am - Joe heads back to the new house
11:30am - Joe and Emilie head over to Lake Michigan Drive to close on the house!
12:30am - Head back to the new house, er OUR HOUSE!!!, and unload a van full of small stuff
1pm - Go get a couple of van fulls of stuff to bring to the house
5pm - Joe should probably shower
6:30pm - Joe needs to be at Sunshine for graduation
7 (or 7:30, I can't remember) - graduation begins
Let's say 9:30pm - Go back to OUR NEW HOUSE and enjoy the fellowship (and beer) with Honey, Grandpa Kelly, and others
11pm - Back to old house to try to sleep
8am - pick up uhaul and begin to move in ernest

What a day! Now that I have a bit of a break in school, I have realized how good of a day this will be. I am never one to "toot my own horn" (at least intentionally), but we have very hard to get to this point. While at times we thought we would never reach this, God has blessed us richly through many trials and hardships in order to prepare us for Friday. This year will conclude my 6th year at RBC/Kuyper and mark the 8th year we have looked for a house! Granted there has been breaks in there, we have been working toward both of these for sometime! I think that its awsome that they both conclude on the same day (even symbollicly).

Here's to many years in our new house, many late evenings of fellowship, and great memories with our family.

By the way, if you are in the area of Alger Heights on Sat, drive down Blaine and look for us, you are always welcome. (Really anyone who reads this is already booked to be there Sat so...)

So sad we can't be there. I got teary eyed just reading it. Congratulations! I know you'll be busy, but give us a call when you can and let us know how it goes.
Love, Julie
For Luke and kids too
