It’s hard to believe that all of (well most of) our stuff is
on its way to Saudi Arabia. There’s no turning back now! We are full of
excitement, anxious and just stressed. Michael and I keep apologizing to one another
because we keep stepping on each other’s toes! But, let’s face it a move like
this will test anyone and will put you into moods you don’t normally get into!
We knew what we were getting into!
Are final paperwork came in on Tuesday and it was a good
thing we looked at it close because I didn’t have a ticket on the plane! YIKES!!!
FREAK OUT MODE!!! Called our relocation person and she completely missed that I
didn’t have a ticket. She took care of it and within an hour I had a ticket!
Ok, breathe….I think it stemmed from my visa issue earlier but not completely
sure why I wasn’t issued a ticket. I teased Michael and told him there were no
business class seat left and that they upgraded me to first class! That would
have been so cool!!! I’m just thankful that I got a ticket and that we are
together on the same flight.
As of tomorrow our house will be on the market. I sure hope
it sells, fast! We are selling it as an “as is,” because we know we have some
foundation issues. We ended up hiring a structural engineer who knew what he
was doing instead of the quacks at those foundation places. We had everything
from “you don’t have any foundation issue, you just need to water” to almost
$20,000. CRAZY!!! What is interesting is that the engineer said we needed work
on one side of the house and a section of the garage with some correction in
drainage which didn’t even touch what the other companies wanted to do. We have
learned a lot during this process and will be better informed when we
purchase/build another house. Life is a living and learning, right?
Nothing tells you that God’s working in your life than to
show up at church and have the preacher preach directly to you, right? Well
that happened to us yesterday at church. Pastor Daniels talked about how
sometime you need to just let go knowing that God is in control and just see
where He takes you. Ironically he introduced us to a woman who use to be Muslim,
accepted Christ two years ago, and she is doing just what Pastor Daniels said.
She sold her business in Arlington, wants to go to seminary and then wants to
go find other women around the world who are hiding behind the veil to spread
the gospel. Who knows where Saudi will
take us, what adventures we’ll have or the people we will meet. We are amazed
at how during this whole process we have put ourselves out there not knowing
what was to come. But, we know for sure who we put our trust in and will
continue to as we spread our wings to explore this world.
The next time I write
I will probably be in Saudi. We have been truly blessed by the friendships we
have made and will miss each one of you! (Tears)
Until next time be blessed!
Love,
The Myers
