It's here. After 4 months of denial, excitement, denial, fear, denial, stress, and some more denial our moving day has arrived. Today the express shipment will be packed and taken away. This is a totally new process for me. I have done the conus move several times but trying to sort all of my things into 3 categories has proved a bit tedious. I think I have detached from most of my things and really I think I can be comfortable as long as I have my bed and the kids have everything that makes it feel like they haven't been completely uprooted. Pray for my sweet little ones. I think they are starting to realize that things are getting a little bit crazy. Owen is starting to realize that he won't see his friends again. That is not necessarily true, but many of them he won't. This is the hardest part of being in the Navy. Good bye's have never been easy for me but now that I have to watch Owen say goodbye I think I would leave everyone I know just so he wouldn't have to hurt like that. He will be fine. God has blessed him with a very silly and outgoing spirit. You can't help but like my O. That little girl of mine is another story. She reels you in with those eyes and cute smile, but boy can she scream. I told her it is not very becoming. She doesn't care. She is definitely her own woman.
Anyway, here we are at the first of 4 moving days and the beginning of our journey to Japan. So many unknowns, so much uncharted territory. I trust that God is going to write a beautiful story through all of this. His hand has been on every preparation. He is good. He has blessed us with so many wonderful family members and friends. We look forward in sharing our journey with you.

Holy pajamas! I don't know what is harder: looking at all of your essential things in a nice, neat, and highly organized pile or knowing that you all are going to be moving with that pile. Clearly I am still in the denial phase. Which is next? Anger...whoowhee...everyone watch out!
