Hello everyone!  We’re still in the midst of preparations to move and haven’t been posting much lately.  Our packers arrive on Monday and will pack the house over two days.  The moving truck shows up to be loaded on Wednesday.  On Thursday we do our final out-processing from Fort Drum- housing and such.  On Friday, we’re ‘On the Road Again’ and will arrive in VA on Saturday.  We’re hoping to intercept the truck and do a ‘door-to-door’ move, instead of having our stuff unloaded into a warehouse, then reloaded onto a truck for delivery to us.  Our move to Fort Drum went into storage, and we had nine pieces of furniture damaged, our TV smashed, etc.  Not good.  Now that they are required to give us replacement cost (instead of the asinine former depreciation policy), I hear the movers are a lot more careful with our stuff now.  Hope that’s true!

Please also pray for Will Williams, the son of a couple of colleagues of mine in the Army.  Will is six and had a brain tumor removed, then cancer started invading his spinal column.  Pray for Jenny and Priestly, his parents and my friends, and Miles, his brother.  You can read about Will at www.caringbridge.org/visit/willwilliams
