I am flying from North Carolina to Oregon today. I will get into Eugene a little before 7:00 PM. Dad (I really do have the best Dad in the world) is taking a crew of his old employees down to Corvallis and, with the help of two of our other friends–Darren and Spencer– will pack the truck. After Lorena picks me up, hopefully the house will be ready to go and we can drive up to Dad and Mom’s house for the night. Jim and JoAnn might even make it to the airport to see us off (and so I can get my last going away hugs). I expect to see them out in North Carolina for a visit before too long.
Tomorrow morning, we will go to Sunday morning meeting with Dad and Mom, take them out for a late Father’s Day dinner and then try to make it to Boise before we turn in for the night. Then, we will do one really long drive from Boise to somewhere around Grand Island, Nebraska on Monday night. On Tuesday, we are hoping to get to the Gabharts in Jasper, Indiana so we can spend Tuesday night, all day Wednesday, and Wednesday night with them, leaving for North Carolina right after a bible study on Thursday morning. We will stay in a hotel one night in Raleigh, then pick up the keys to our rental house in Apex on Friday morning.
We will try to keep the blog updated as we go, but it might be a little touch and go with that.
