Last night was our final small group meeting =( Carrie gave lots of hugs & kisses to all her buddies, including some new ones, and will only be seeing them one last time, on Sunday. We didn't even attempt to do an actual lesson. We just talked & visited & caught up w/ some of our group that we haven't seen and tried to include our new members/visitors as best we could during all this transition. Kia leaves in 3 weeks too! Here's a picture of Kia, Carrie, & Shawn- all in red shirts!
This is our last weekend in Illinois and we'll be running around like crazy people the entire time! We're headed to La Salle/ Peru tomorrow for some things at the mall (not going to miss that 40 minute drive to get things done!) and need to pack up Scott's car for Toledo w/ stuff the movers won't move. Please be praying for him- he's starting to get that itchy, sick-in-the-back-of-your-throat feeling and this is obviously not the most convenient time for him to get sick =/ I think we'll all feel much better come the 24th when the new house is ours and half the craziness is behind us!
Church is going to be sad on Sunday... our last time there. Gotta remember to take my tissues! We will really miss First Presbyterian in Ottawa. It has been a tremendous blessing to us while we've been here! Always sad to leave such wonderful people, but such a good reminder at how incredibly amazing Heaven will be when we're all reunited again. We're going to know a lot of people there if we keep moving like this! ;) Hehe!
Some more prayer requests are: Carrie, our next door neighbor, is being induced to have her baby boy on Monday morning. She plans to get home Wednesday, which means we will hopefully get to meet little Anthony before we leave. Please pray that her c-section & recovery both go well and that their family adjusts smoothly to the new little guy. And our friend Meredith is jobhunting, rather against her will, so please send some prayers & good thoughts her way as she figures out what she's supposed to be doing next. Also, Mike & Elly's baby is due Nov. 17th so keep them in mind, too. Lots of babies this fall!
I'll try to post again before we take off, but at some point I have to disconnect all these wires & everything cuz the movers won't mess w/ all that. I'd like to get a lot of pictures w/ Care Bear among the boxes, etc. so be watching for those probably two weeks from now. We'll be seeing quite a few of you between now and then, so look for pictures of all y'all then as well! =) Have a good weekend! Best way to get a hold of us this weekend would be cell phones. G'night!
