The precariousness of packing

I am very happy to say that I am finally getting to think about packing for real this time! Jed and I got our visas to enter the UK yesterday and we haven't stopped smiling since. I have decided that my endless procrastination of school projects has now transferred to procrastination in packing. It's not that I don't think about it until the last minute, that process seems to be working quite well for my husband though. I think about it and think about it and think about it... In the meantime I have almost made a list of all the things I would like to pack, assuming of course, that our luggage space is unlimited. I am having a little bit of trouble focusing on one thing at a time. Now, that's not really such an unusual problem for me but it does tend to make a person very tense. It seems silly though, that as soon as a problem, like having no visa, is solved I immediately find a way to fill my list of things left to worry about. In reality I have no reason to worry. Will it really matter if all of my yarn doesn't make it into my suitcase? Or will everything fall to pieces if I don't get to make that last Walmart run? OF COURSE NOT. So for the rest of the evening I will be counting my blessings and thanking God for another wonderful day that I can know that He is in charge. So if you are anything like me and let little things morph into big things; Take a breath, take a minute and thank Him for all of those little things. I certainly will be.

We're almost home!

We were finally able to complete our visa application yesterday. HOORAY!!!! Just a few more steps and we will be able to head back to Morley. I can't begin to say how much we have missed everyone. It has been nice to spend time with our families but we will be glad to get back to work.
