Even More of What is Looks Like to Move Overseas

Whew! These last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of activity around the Hutcheson household! We have been busy packing up our apartment, moving everything into storage, packing and weighing the luggage we are taking to Uganda, finding a new home for our cat, changing banks, getting international insurance, obtaining a lawyer for our adoption, spending as much time as we could with friends and family, and reminding our selves to breathe and eat!!!

But through it all the Lord is SO INCREDIBLY FAITHFUL and we want to give Him ALL the glory! We have received so much support and encouragement from some of the most unexpected places and we know the Lord is moving. May His name be praised!

Last Friday we put the last of our belongings in storage, packed up a U-Haul full of the stuff we are planning to take to Uganda and made the two day drive to Jacksonville, Florida. Now we are surrounding ourselves with great friends and family as we prepare to leave for Uganda on May 16th. There is still lots to do but we are relaxing in the Lord's arms and know it will all get done!

As we promised, we are trying to keep you updated through pictures on our moving process. Here are a few more pictures to show you our last few days in Michigan.

Writing down what is in each box so we can easily find things.

No more bed...just an air mattress on the floor.

Boxes, boxes, and more boxes!

Two strong guys moving the last bits of furniture out. (Josh works for Two Men and a Truck so we had a professional mover on our hands!)

An organized mess!

Loading everything into the U-haul to take to storage.

Love these guys!

Zai loves his Uncle Joshie!!!

Isaiah was very distressed that daddy was taking apart his crib. =(

"Mommy, how can you let him do this????????!?!?!"

"Well, I guess it's not so bad...because now I get to jump on it!" =)

Last trip to the storage unit to unload everything.

And we're done! Storage unit is filled up..

And the U-Haul is packed and ready to go to Florida!

We forgot to take a picture of our empty apartment. I guess we were just so excited to finally be done that we just got out of there as quick as we could. =)

More updates to come!
