18 Days...

The Lord has graciously provided an apartment for me! It looks like my new address is going to be 3445 South Downing Street #211, Englewood, CO 80113. It's a neat little 1 bedroom. So far, I have the housing, trailer rental, packing and road trip plans all underway. The details that I can work on now are mounting and I'm finding myself getting more anxious - I woke up at 5 this morning, made myself stay in bed until 6, then got up and did touch up work on the deck to my apartment (I've been refinishing it for my landlord in exchange for some off the rent). After that, I showered/breakfasted and finished my 30 page application for the Army...It's been a productive morning! I'm really starting to feel that I won't be here much longer - feeling more sad about that. I'm working on my last project here - I've decided for a final school/move fundraiser to sell pies. I've been working with this absolutely wonderful elderly couple in my church and the wife, Ruth, has recently given me lessons in fruit pie making. The pies are exquisite (and most people in my church know it), so I don't anticipate this being a waste of time. Please pray for my next few weeks - whatever comes to mind will be greatly appreciated!

Also - I'm going to have a Moving Party on July 29th - I need help loading up my truck and would love to spend my last night in RI with all you friends and family. I'm going to have burgers and dogs available - so do come right after work! I'll have the truck from around 12pm on - I hope to be done by 6 or 7 (not anticipating lots of help during the day), so we can all just hang out in the evening (no specified ending time, so come late if you want!).

Terri this sounds like good stuff. Thanks for keeping us (your wonderful, loving, praying friends) involved in your life. I'll miss you but with this new system it'll feel like you're still close. Love Yoly

The Crust was of special quality to your pie....I might add. Nice and flakey (the way it should be)

Well done

Love Nat

TJK-

You know when see someone doing something big...and you know it isn't so much that their choosing it, but that it's choosing them? Like, they're doing what they're meant to do and they're being who they're meant to be. That's you. ;)

It's hard to see you go, and there's concern for what you might be in for, but there's no denying (anymore) that this is the right move for you. Props to you for sticking to the plan!

Ter, you'll do great in seminary and in the military. Your soldiers will be grateful for your presence. I am very proud of you. I will miss you and I will definitely visit in CO.

As much as it's in my power, I will also bring a crowd with me to crash your Denver dream home! Can you handle it? Get the Rocky Mountain Oysters ready! ;)
