Leaving Michigan!
Yes, we left Michigan on Friday the 25th of January. Before we did we
met some of our dearest friends, Don and Roxanne Hamblin.
We met for breakfast at Ihops on Alpine.

Here we are, Eileen and Jim Gerard. When left Don and Roxanne,
we then went to pick Rebecca up on her last of working.
We went back to our place in Michigan, to finish our things there.
Handed in our keys and everything that went along with it.
We had loaded up our truck Thursday so that we could leave so after
Becky got done working. After our handing in the keys we were on our way
to pick up Sarah and her roommate Lori. They were helping with driving and
unloading when we arrive in Florida.
We had a very good trip. We had a good weather, one area we had some snow flurries, but didn't stick to the ground. This was in Kentucky. When we were almost into Atlanta we got stuck in a traffic tie up, because of construction. Saturday and Sunday were good days to travel as far as traffic. Then we got into Atlanta, the car we were taking which was leading, took the wrong fork in the road and the truck took the right fork in the road. The car called on the walkie talkie, told the truck to keep going we would catch up. So we caught up and had no more incidences. Praise the Lord for His guidance.

This picture was taken at one of the stops we made for one of our

meals. This is Sarah and Lori, Sarah's roommate.


This is Jim, myself and Becky.

After we arrived Sunday afternoon, 2:00PM.

We rested at Ruth's and spent the night after we parked

our truck at the back of the church,

I took everyone and showed our place. Then we spent the night

then went to get the apartment ready to unload. We had to unload at

our place, then at Ruth's for Becky moved in with Ruth.

Then we had to find a storage unit, which we found Tuesday morning. Unloaded

turned in the truck and then now we have all the unpacking to do.

Monday while we were unloading I had to run to Evan's class at school.

They were to have a snowball fight. So I had taken some pictures.

Here he is getting ready for the snowball through.

Some other winter things in the class room.

Now we are taking Sarah and Lori to the airport Thursday,

so they can fly back to Michigan. I feel so bad for them

I hear we left just at the right time. They had a blizzard so sorry you guys.

We enjoyed 80 degrees today.

Well, may the Lord be with each of you.

You will all be in our Prayers,

Have a Bless Day!

Hi Eileen! I've been "missing" you in blog land so thought I'd leave a comment and let you know you. Hope you're getting all settled in and enjoying camp.
