Two Weeks and Counting
Our poor lonely little blog has had very little to offer the last few weeks. We keep thinking of things to post but haven't found a second to post them! Life is just so busy.
First things first, here are some pics of our recent happenings. Because of the way flickr works the order is reversed so it starts with a celebration of St Nicholas' day and ends with our trip to the Lake District with Brad and Abi (a wonderful last getaway - we'll miss you guys so much!).
Other updates? How about some highlights...
1) Yesterday was my last day of work...can you believe it? Two years and a couple weeks ago I started at the University - it's been a wild ride. I'm so glad to set my face to the future and am already thinking of all those things I will do now that I have the time.
2) But first we have a move across the Pond to navigate: shippers, suitcases, Christmas gifts, packing, goodbyes and lots of tiny decisions (do I REALLY want to pay to ship AND insure that CD of Sinatra singing carols?). Our flight leaves on the 21st.
3) And, in the middle of all of that Josh defends on Friday at 2pm. If you think of it please pray for him. It's rather grueling - you defend for 2 hours or so and then you leave the room and wait. When they are ready they call you back in and tell you your fate. Yikes!
Unfortunately all this busyness means no Christmas correspondence from the Moons this year! Perhaps we'll send a Happy middle of February letter out to everyone to give the update on where we will settle...once all that has been decided.
And, some of you dear wonderful people have been asking where to send Christmas cards - even though you're guessing you won't be hearing from us! If you wouldn't mind emailing me I'll send you my parents' address where we'll be for Christmas.
Isn't that wonderful? My family is waiting on the other end - that's the best feeling in all of this change!

Hey! Wonderful about your last day and Josh's defending on Friday - I'll definitely be praying, but I'm not worried :) Pray for me tomorrow too- I have my review at work - should be okay - I wish I was done like you! :) We'll be praying for the packing and moving parts of all of this too! love, Amy H.

I'll be thinking about you two as you pack up and transition back to life stateside. Enjoy your last few weeks in Europe and safe travels back across the pond. Merry Christmas!

I'm excited for your upcoming move. Your Christmas card was returned to my house the other day, so count me among those who need your parents address. (Or could I pull it off our correspondence from 13 years ago? Ha.) Also, I'll be praying for Josh on Friday!

In spite of all that you have going on you still have time to post a blog. Impressive. Thanks for the link.
PS. I love 'Interpreter of Maladies'
