Blessings, Hiccups & Schedules

GOD IS GOOD!!!!!
     We want to take a quick minute to thank everyone that was able to come out to our fundraiser dinner.  The love and support shown to us was incredible.  We knew we had a phenomenal support system, but to see so many people in one place at one time all coming together to show us how much they love us and believe in what we are doing was pretty amazing.
     Things are going pretty well in terms of getting ready to go.  Packing lists are are coming together, we're finishing up with school, and travel plans are being made.  Our one little hiccup is that our second rental property has not sold.  Which means we have to find renters, get them settled, and then find someone that will manage the duplex while we are gone.  It was our desire to sell this property but God had other plans.  Will you come together in prayer with us that the right people/family rent our apartments?  It is our hope that God has not allowed this property to be sold because it will bless someone else.
     Scheduling.......time is ticking away!!!  Our official DTS dates are January 7th through June 5, 2015.  The original plan was to be with our families through the holidays and leave the day after Christmas.  Well, once again, God had other plans!!!  We started talking and praying about it and decided that it would be best for our family to leave a little earlier.  Since we are crazy enough to be driving across the country in December we figured that we should probably give ourselves some extra time.  So we will be heading out of Ohio December 20th, with an arrival date in Homer on January 1st.  What a way to ring in the new year!!! 
That means that we have just 44 days left in Ohio!!!  HOLY MOLY folks......we're getting close!!!
     Thank you, again, for all of your love and prayers.  We are going to miss everyone so much, but are really anxious to see what God is going to do in Alaska.

Blessings,
Mark & Megan
