Apartment on Wheels

Good thing we invested in some quality suitcases before all of our traveling began! We have certainly gotten good use out of them. 

In some ways it is hard to believe that we will be moving to the DR in a month....but on the other hand it seems like it has taken us FOREVER to get to this point. We just spent 2 weeks in Winston-Salem with Elliott's family and friends. It was a sweet time of hellos and goodbyes. (Hellos from our 3 months away in Guatemala, and goodbyes for our 2 years in the DR)- lots of differing emotions competing. On our way down to FL from NC we stopped in Atlanta to visit my Aunt Annie. My grandmother Hap was also in town visiting. We had an awesome time with them! Now we are in Orlando with my family. We are so glad to get to spend time with our families before we make the big move...but are really ready to settle into our new place in the DR. It has been over a year since we had a place to call "home." I have started calling my suitcase my Apartment On Wheels. Even our dog has caught on to our lifestyle.....

Oh how I admire you for your constant faith, certainty and vision throughout this entire year as you move from place to place, allowing the Lord to prepare you for what he has in store! The finish line is soooo close and I cannot wait for yall to get to move into your very own house! Miss you and love you!!
