(Note - I'm so tired I was about to post this to my son, Nathan's, blog until my other son, Noah, just pointed out to me I was on the wrong blog!!)  Well, our predictions of departure  kept changing throughout the day, but after a night of only 1 hour sleep by Tim and  3 hours by me we finally pulled out of our street at about 7:30pm tonight!!  Woohoo!!  We kept looking at each other throughout the day saying, "I'm feeling it!"  Which meant, whatever it took we were outta there today!  We took a break around 11:30am to go up to our church at their invitation and have several people pray over us.  I just have to say, wow!  I felt SO incredibly blessed to be sent out by such wonderful people!  They're prayers bolstered us immensely, and we felt so deeply grateful to be loved by our God that much.  Back at the ranch, we were really struggling to simply finish!  Our camper had been in the shop until Thursday, so when we started packing after that we were very meticulous about putting things in 'just the right place'.  The last 3 hours saw us making a final mad dash to our storage unit with 'leftover items' and then literally throwing everything else into our camper, our car, wherever we found an empty space.  We tried to keep clear enough space for sleeping tonight, so when we arrive at around midnight tonight we will be dropping like rocks!!  We felt like we had sold or given away everything - practically all our furniture, much of our clothes, so much stuff, and yet we were still battling the stuff as we trying to get out.  We dropped off a whole truck load of stuff at Lighthouse this morning and yet there was still more stuff to contend with throughout the day.  I felt like I was in a wrestling match with all this stuff!!  So when we finally pulled out, the flood of sadness I thought I would feel leaving a place I have loved so much never came, and only an incredible feeling of relief was in its place.  I have some repenting to do with a couple of my kids, however, as that last hour was quite stressful.  At least Tim and I were together emotionally all day!  We are actually going to make a stop near Daytona in about 5 minutes (it's close to 10:30pm!) to hug some friends' necks - they're real troupers for hanging with us throughout the day as the schedule kept changing - so I must be signing off.  Thank you all for the wonderful comments, encouragement, prayers, etc. you have so freely given us.  We are so looking forward to all God has in store and feel so blessed to have so many people we care about to share it with!!  Blessings to all!

    Tim & Jodie


    Tim and Jodie have been married since Nov. 5, 1988.  Tim is a retired Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and retired city of Tampa Firefighter.   Jodie is a happily laid off IBM/AT&T 21 yr veteran employee. So I guess you can say they're both retired, but still super busy!  They have four wonderful children:  triplets Nathan, Nicole, and   Noah born 11/16/97 and Nicholas born 5/16/99.  Nathan is at Trinity College, Noah is at Florida Polytechnic University, and Nicole is at USF.  Nicholas is an EDM (electronic dance music) creator and hoping to make a living from that!  We love and are so proud of our kids!
