One week from tomorrow

Wow. I cannot believe how fast the day's are going. One week from tomorrow and we'll be heading on our long plane ride to Fiji. Yipeeee!
So far everything has been going really well for getting things done and having things work out in our favor.
My parents are here now so i'm able to get out and do errands or pack or make calls etc.
Three major things that were on our minds fell into place last week that we are extremely thankful for. We were selling our car but so far no buyers. The problem with selling it too early was that we wouldn't be able to go anywhere with my parents b/c we wouldn't all fit in the jeep. So I told Darryl that the reason it wasn't sold yet was b/c God had the perfect buyer in mind and it would be great if they didn't want it until boxing day or the day after when my parents leave. So...sure enough, one of Darryl's buddies ends up buying it and he's in no rush to have it b/c he doesn't need it until January!! It Could not have worked out more perfectly. God is not often early but he is always on time :)

We were also concerned about getting to the airport and where we were going to store our jeep. We had a plan but there were still some kinks in it. Well, that got worked out too. We are driving our jeep to T.O and then someone is driving it back to Ottawa for us and storing it, for free, for us. So awesome!

Our last dilemma was all the luggage. We are taking 2 pieces each, a total of 8 suitcases, 2 car seats, a stroller and carry-on's. I know, CRAZY. It is not all going to fit in the jeep. I even looked into shipping a box to NZ but it would cost over $200 and take 6-8 weeks. So back to the suitcases. Darryl was telling a friend how we were probably going to have to tie them to the roof somehow and turns out that he and his wife are driving through T.O the day before us so they said they would drop the extra luggage at the hotel for us!!

God is Good.

Please pray that we will have a safe and uneventful travel to the other side of the world. I know that some drama would make for good reading on here but I'd really rather write about how unbelievably well it went:)
