I am writing this at 6:30am on April 22, 2013. Packing Day has finally arrived. I can't believe it. In a couple hours, the movers will come and pack up all of our stuff, and we'll fill our car with all the clothes and other gear we need when we arrive in Mexico. It's been a crazy week; visiting family, saying goodbye to friends at church, getting every item either cleaned, sent to Goodwill, or thrown out, etc. But I feel like we are actually ready for today.
The next week should be fun. With border assignments, you have the option to drive to post, which we opted to do so that we could have our car right from the get-go. On Wednesday, we'll be driving to Savannah, GA. On Thursday, we'll drive on to Birmingham, AL. I've scheduled it this way so that we can arrive in New Orleans, LA, on Friday night and spend the weekend there. Monday, we'll get back on the road and head to San Antonio, TX. Finally, Tuesday night, we will roll in to Ciudad Juarez for the start of this crazy adventure.
I'll do my best to update the blog a bit while we're on the road, but more than likely, the next time you hear from us, we'll be living in Mexico. Vaya con Dios!
