... the countdown to Guam

The transition from "home-ownership" to "homeless" this month has been smooth! Thanks to some serious planning and definite help from my parents and good friends who "housed" my kids the last night we moved out and cleaned house! Phheeew! We did it - we closed on our house less than 30 days before we have to leave SC! I am so thankful and so happy about that! SO THANKFUL, Thank you LORD!

The kids have also transitioned so nicely! So much for the nice 4 bedroom apartment at the Naval Base - we are now in a nice little one bedroom. Yes, all 5 of us (Mia is still in the motorhome with my parents and now Bella our furry child has joined them) The kids love living in the new apartment that we're in- it's ONE bedroom with ONE bathroom and ONE TV. We have a full size bed.... an air-matress (thanks Darcy) and life is good! Living the SIMPLE LIFE is something we are all embracing... and hope to adapt more of this "simple living" when we get to Guam.

I'm enjoying the fact that my parents are here until we leave. The kids LOVE having their MomMom & PopPop here. And the bonus for this weekend - UNCLE LEN came down from PA to spend time with us. Yeah!!!!!

We head out of Charleston on Monday - August 25th... heading to Hawaii for 4 days and then reaching our new "home" in Guam! Until then - we have lots of doctor appointments, family fun days planned and just enjoying the last days of summer! Ironically - everyone keeps telling us it's going to be sooo hot in Guam - but looking at the weather - it's actually hotter here in South Carolina. I think we'll be pleasantly surprised once we get over there (I hope so).

I hope to post some new pictures soon... the lap top at the apartment is connected to a dial up and takes a bit longer than I'd like!

Let the countdown begin...
