Ready, Set, . . .

What all do we have to do to make this happen? In the past six months we have:

1. Sold our home and moved into an apartment
2. Entered our recommendation information on line
3. Got medical and dental exams and tests
4. Got our call to serve
5. Got a multitude of immunizations
6. Retired from work
7. Got International Driving Permits
8. Amassed a small mountain of clothing, shoes and luggage
9. Spoke in church and fed the multitude
10. Have been learning and brushing up on Spanish (listening to telenovelas on Univisión, while boring, is helpful)

In the next two and a half weeks we will:

1. Get our motor vehicle reports, background checks and letters from the state affirming we are not criminals
2. Shut down our internet, cell phones and utility services
3. Submit change of address (for our local mail drop – thanks Eliza!) to everyone who matters
4. Sell our truck (thanks Jon!)
5. Pack our luggage
6. Pack up our household furnishings and move them into storage
7. Spend our last two nights before reporting in a hotel thinking of all the things we forgot to take care of in time
