We now have a plan for the next month or so of what's going on. Here it is!
We just found out that we close on our house here in Dorr, this coming Thursday, but still have 9 days to get everything out after that. It will be nice to have that officially sold so we can move on. Next Saturday, we will move down to Colon. We will be staying in a cottage on a lake, sounds wonderful doesn't it? Elizabeth and Darrin have wonderful friends that are willing to let us stay there until we find a house down there. It doesn't have heat so we won't be there too long, hopefully we'll find a house soon and be in that by October. If we can't settle on anything by then, we will move to a house for rent during the colder months. Jason HAS finally received his letter from the State so he's good to go! He will sign his contract sometime early this week. Starting tomorrow we will be busy making many phone calls to cancel utilities, changing addresses, etc. We will be moving most of our stuff to Jason's brother's basement since we won't need furniture, dishes, etc. for the cottage. We have quite a bit to move still, but should have most of the week to do so. I quit my job in Hudsonville last Friday. I surely will miss those kids and my co-workers, but I have a feeling I will be back someday down the road. They asked me to keep them all informed. Unless we absolutely love everything in Colon (which we might, who knows?) we plan to move back in this area when Jason has experience so we can be closer to family and friends again. But in the meantime, we are excited yet nervous about this big change as it is coming closer. We will be saying many "goodbyes" (not true goodbyes, but goodbyes to not seeing loved ones as often as we do now) this week. Down in Colon, many are excited about our arrival. Elizabeth's friend, Carol, already wants to have a burrito dinner to welcome us as they're so excited for us to arrive. I'm so glad we have friends down there to help us meet a lot of great new people right away.
I will try to post when I can, who knows when this computer will be turned off? But I'm sure I'll find a way to get on another one that is working to check on things and to update.
PS. Our water was treated again last Wednesday evening for bacteria, and will get tested again Monday. Pray that it is bacteria-free!!!!!!!

Jenny, You will be in my prayers during all of the BIG changes. Good luck!! I am so happy for you and your family :)
Jenny, all so exciting but understandably a bit scary too. You know we all love you and will continue to pray everything is bacteria free and that everything falls into place. We are so glad you have friends in Colon also, that is a huge blessing when you have small children.
Jen - What an exciting time, filled with many emotions! This week will fly by - like Aunt Rachel said, we're so happy you have friends waiting for you when you arrive in Colon; that will make the adjustment easier. God is leading you down this path; can't wait to come visit you in Colon! (Let us know if we can help in any way.) Love, Aunt Jean
