This afternoon, we're making the offical transaction of selling our Honda Civic to some friends. Such a blessing from the Lord to work this out, and at such a convenient time.
We'll miss the white paint, the nice cd player, the speediness (sortof), and the low-to-the-ground feeling while driving it. Really, I think the speediness is due mostly to the fact that the car is lower to the ground, not that is has a huge engine or anything. Imagine a Civic with a V-8 or V-12. Yikes!!!
We're really doing this moving to Austria thing! We will no longer own any cars in just a couple hours! :) Love it!

California knows how to party
What's up what's up what's up???
We're really enjoying our time here in San Celemente, especially now that I am not sick anymore - well, I'm almost all better. Yeah!
We had a really fun fiesta - got to meet some new friends of my parents, catch up with old friends, and play around with my nieces. And besides that, we've walked around town, visited some friends, etc. We saw our niece Danielle's baccalaureate, Emilee's dance recital rehearsal, played croquet with all kinds of family in the back yard, etc.
Now we're heading up to Ventura (2 hours north of here) to hang out with Garret and Sarah Hamner. Ventura Pier, here we come!
ciao for now

Almost there
Well, everything is about to start falling together. We leave tomorrow for California for 8 days, then back to Bloomington. We'll have 3 or 4 days to finish packing, and we'll leave on June 21st from our apartment for good. Driving to North Carolina, then back to Indianapolis - Anne's parents house. Then 2 days after we'll be gone for 3+ weeks of training in New York and family vacation in Michigan. Whew!
Please pray for us now - it's easy to be stressed out with all kinds of things to do. I'm feeling sick (Chris), and we don't have so much time for me to rest. Plus - we've been talking a lot about adjusting to all the changes going on and how we adjust to that. Pray for us, that we'd go to God with our struggles and anxious thoughts.
Back to packing.... :)

The Days are Just Packed
I think that's actually a title from a "Calvin and Hobbes" book, meant to be facicous.(sp?) Actually Calvin and Hobbes are much more on the lazy side of life. But our days have actually been ganz beschaeftig (very busy). So are you ready to whet your whistle on the highlights of the last few days for us???
0.5. Bubba was here for a few days.
1. I was going to go to New Joisey to visit the Griffices, but had to change my plans to stay home, support Anne, and get stuff done for Austria.
2. I packed a bunch of boxes, brought things to Goodwill, sold some things (bike, clothes, etc.), jumped through some hoops to get paperwork for our visas to live in Austria, got help working on and replacing a bad video card for our computer, etc.
3. Drove up to Indianapolis for the weekend. Watched Shrek 2. Ran in a 4 mile run. Won a gift certificate for running shoes. Went to church. Hung out with Bob, Meg, Scott, Tom, John, and Kim.
4. Saw the Indy 500 - well, some of it. It kept raining and they said a tornado was nearby, so we left early.
5. Packed more boxes, unofficially sold our Honda Civic, paid bills, etc.
6. Drove to Indianapolis, watched the Lakers WIN, and drove the Honda back to Bloomington.
7. Anne began her last week of school and Chris went to Cincinnati to visit friends and go to a concert.
I hope you didn't drown from all of the quick facts. :)
