We found our house in Costa Rica!! It is perfect for us we think and are very excited to get settled and meet our neighbors. Just about 15 minutes outside of town, it is 4500 feet above sea level, slightly up the mountain. The view is beautiful, lush and green with cool weather in the mornings and evenings. Being very pregnant, I am soooo excited about cooler weather. These hot Cancun days have been roasting me. I wonder why we even shower in the mornings.
With all the excitement of new things to come, there are still lots of feelings of grief for what we are leaving behind. The closest friends we have ever had, memories from most of Davin's life, Emmy's first school, our kids' very special friends are things that are all being left in our old life as we move on to a new one.
This is our last week in Cancun. The packing is almost finished, plans are all made, airline tickets have been bought, furniture has been sold. The only thing left to do is say goodbye. We are having a party on Friday night- one last big blow out. I hope I can be calm enough to enjoy my time with friends instead of crying through it.
Please keep us in your prayers this week as we say goodbye and move to another country. We are excited about what God has for us but it will be very difficult to leave.
Pray for Nathan and our friend Chaco as they make the drive from Cancun to Costa Rica on Monday, Oct 9. They have to pass through Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and then into Costa Rica. It is a long drive, the roads aren't always easy to navigate, and entering each country's border has difficulties of it's own.
Pray for the rest of us as we fly on Wednesday through Miami and then to Costa Rica. We will get there first and be in a hotel for a day or two until the guys arrive. We will have a ton of bags to keep up with but God always sends me someone helpful sitting near by on the plane.
Thanks for your prayers.
