I got a reprieve....

and Jamin didn't move out on Mother's Day.

However, his things are all out of our house as of this moment. He'll be sleeping at Cy's tonight. He's been accepted to ASU and the apartment has approved their application for a 2 bdr.

He just drove off. He made my "LIFE" by saying, "I couldn't have asked for a better family".....this is the "child" who for years wished he'd been born an only child.

I cried. There really is no better time for him to move. We need to make sure his things don't end up in Japan and it only makes sense he would go sleep where his things are....but still it surprised me that it happened today.

I'm a mess....and now it's time to leave and teach our last PWOC Bible study.....packers arrive tomorrow.

Yep, bitter sweet.....wonderful adventure and painful goodbyes....cherish and cling...

Choosing Joy!

Sis/Family:

Sis, please take a second and feel Dad/I arms around you for a huge hug and even a short prayer.

Crying is fine. What a special young man Jamin has turned out to be. You and Mike have another reason to be proud.

We are hugging you this minute.

love/prayers Dad/Mom T

Hey, almost forgot. Remember that professional items (books and uniforms that Mike uses or stores) does NOT count on weight and should be packed and inventoried as such. It helped in our storage weight when we moved overseas!
