We're Connected!

We are finally moved and "set up." I guess that means we have the essential items working, (i.e. the internet and phone!)

I am going to do a series of blogs that are an overview of the past 3 weeks! Hope you enjoy.

THE MOVE...

Wednesday, April 22, our moving truck arrived.

The moving company provided 5 guys, one to organize the truck, (also the driver) and the rest to do any packing, wrapping, and all the loading. We were all packed up except for the last minute bedding I was working on when they arrived.
We were all loaded up by lunch time but had to wait till Thursday to drive down to Floripa.


At 4:30 a.m. Thursday, the 23rd, James, Daniel, me, our 2 dogs and our bird headed down to Floripa. Our car was full and a little stinky. Our dogs had never been in the car so we weren't sure how it would go. All was well till our little dog got car sick on Daniel. Thankfully the bird towel was handy to clean things up. We had arrive earlier than the truck to pick up the keys from the Realtor and be ready before the truck got there at 10:00 a.m. The truck was late. At 1:00 p.m. we started to unload. This time there were only 2 guys to help carry everything up hill and into our house. We all got workouts! by 5 p.m. we were unloaded and saying goodbye to the movers.

Getting everything into the house was not without its challenges. See the refrigerator? It had to be passed over the counter where the bird is sitting. Several times while they were trying to get things in I had to leave so I wouldn't get stressed out.

God blessed and only one planter was broken. We are so thankful for His provision and protection during the move. Saturday morning we drove back up to Curitiba for our last service at Nova Vida and to be reunited with our other two kids. That will be the next blog! See you there!
