Packing

The last week has been full of packing.  One of the most common questions we are asked is: What are you doing with all your stuff?  Are you shipping it to Thailand?  No, we are not shipping anything to Thailand.  Our plan is to take six suitcases that contain clothes and some items to make our Thai home feel like home.  The rest of our belongings are being stored in a room at Nate's mom's house.  We have been hoping and praying for this opportunity to serve overseas and have designed our life accordingly if such an opportunity happened.  One of the ways we planned was by selling things we did not need and downsizing pieces of furniture to allow moving and storage to be as easy as possible.


Little did we know how difficult it would still be to pack for this new adventure.  We have not only had to pack up our home but we had to make decisions about what to pack for Virginia and what to pack for Thailand.  Below is a picture of trying to put this puzzle together.

The war room.  What goes where? It got much worse after this picture.

We took a picture of the storage room but that camera was a last minute cut from making the Virginia trip.


Thankfully we finished packing up our home and packed for Virginia.  After a long day of flying we arrived in Virginia and will check-in for our two month training on Monday.
