Wednesday we completed our packing of shipped goods. It's funny, when people ask what we are taking we say, "oh, not much other than clothes and some bare necessities" I think I need a better answer for that question...cause somehow we filled all these bins!
So here are some of the things we packed.....
Wait a minute... she's going by plane.
If you are wondering what we really packed that we thought we couldn't do without here's an idea of what was important to us to take. We took 2 guitars. One of which get's played by me (Stephanie) and one which will hopefully be played by Chad or Paige. 4 bikes, a rather large tool box, a Blendtec, a juicer, a crock pot, some sheet sets, a full box of games cause this family LOVES to game! Lego, Meccano, polly pockets, rainbow loom, each one item chosen by the kids. Chad chose to take his loved wine glasses and I had my kitchen stuff. Lot's of other odds and ends I guess and some warmer clothes for "winter' in Belize.
A job well done!
Keaton and Chad drove the load to Mississauga and it's wrapped and loaded on two skids. The shipment will leave Aug 1 and is supposed to arrive in Belize on Aug 12. Now we will try to find a way to get this load from the port to our house in Belize.
We have agreed to a rental home just outside of Bullet Tree. My next posting I will show you a peek at the house we will start off in.
A big HUGE thank you to all those who came out on Sunday to say goodbye and even more than that encourage us in our move! We are amazed at family who drove from Sarnia, London and Niagara Falls to see us. Truly, truly we are blessed with such a great supportive network here. Our mom's worked hard to have a great day where we could see those we love before we go.
It's feeling good so far. We are trying to marvel in our "last's". Chad and I had two great rides before we packed our bikes. We had a great 50km ride in cottage country and our last ride with our biking buddy here on Sunday. It's still feeling a bit like we are getting ready for vacation. We will head to the cottage on Sunday for a week of family time with one of my sisters and some extended family. As we prayerfully prepare to leave we are praying for comfort for our family as we say goodbye to each other and courage for us to say goodbye and be confident in the will of the Father!
