[No.More.Secrets]

Well, it's finally finished. This past Sunday we told our church and youth about our move in a couple of weeks. It was a difficult day and one that I was dreading for weeks. Everything went off better than expected & many people encouraged us when it was all said & done. The church is planning on having a farewell party for us on our last Sunday night, the 16th. This will be an even more emotional evening, but more on a good note rather than the general sense of shock that everyone felt this past weekend.

We're now beginning to pack up and life has shifted into fast-forward. It seems like just yesterday that we accepted the position. The last couple of weeks have flashed by & I know that the next couple will do the same. It's kind of scary thinking about how much preparation work there is to do in that time. I've spent that last couple of mornings on the phone for hours getting utilities set to shut off & turn on in the new location, moving phone & other services, paying deposits, etc. I still have quite a to do list of other phone calls that need to be made in the next couple of days. That, coupled with trying to pack things up & life in general means that we are existing on fumes much of the time right now. The last weekend was emotionally & physically draining & I don't expect that it will let up anytime soon (probably not until we have been in our new location for awhile.)

The title of this post is a misnomer of sorts. I'm still blogging here anonymously & haven't decided if I want to change that or not. I'll definitely wait awhile until we move & get settled in before I would 'come clean.' I don't want people at my current church to read things here out of context. They'd have to basically read from post one (and that's even incomplete - as this is a process that has been going on for over a year now). We'll see. For now it's back to packing!
