Whew...Breath!

Hi friends, Jake here. Cayton and I have been so busy the past month with Cayton doing all the wedding planning and coordination for a friends wedding that was on 11-11-11, followed by a drive out to Ohio that started the next day to look for housing and drop off our car, then a flight back to CA for Thanksgiving in Redding, immediately followed by us packing up our apartment for the big move out to Ohio! Whew...Breath!

So right now our apartment looks like a "Home Depot" moving box advertisement and our garage is mostly full with large crates to keep RC planes safe for the move, bike boxes with our bicycles all packed away, our pictures and paintings all wrapped up and protected, it truly is a mess...an orderly one at least! Tomorrow (Friday) we pick up the moving truck, Saturday we load it, and Sunday (Dec. 4th) we leave for Ohio!

Normally moving is something that totally stresses me out. This time hasn't been like that and I can only attribute it to the Lord helping us keep our spirits in check. Both Cayton and I have been really taking this in stride. Yes it will still be hard to leave friends and family, but we are both sure this is the "right move" for us (pun intended). :)

We will be traveling the "southern" route across the country mostly on I-40. This is the route that we drove a few weeks ago in our car and decided we would take it again because we are going to Kingsburg CA to see my family and we have several friends along the route to visit and stay with. Yes, its about 500 miles longer but that's alright, our behinds did it once, they can do it again! 

We want to thank you in advance for your prayers for this time of transition and travel and change in our lives. We also want to thank our friends, family, supporters, and prayer warriors that are making this possible. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You!!! We will do our best to keep you posted!

Below are a few photos of our apartment in disarray and our super cute house we're renting in Ohio!
