I woke up this morning and listened to this:

That’s right, folks, the final countdown is on. Three days until launch (Saturday morning).

I’ve lost a good deal of time over the past couple of days. I was laid up in bed Tuesday and Wednesday with the flu. I think it broke sometime after dinner last night and I was able to get a lot done.

This morning, I went to pick up the trailer. Nathaniel helped me take a load of stuff to the dump, to my parents’s house, to Mary Beth’s parents’ place, and then start loading the  trailer. We got the mattress in before it started pouring. I know that I’m going to need to learn how to get things done in the rain while in Bellingham, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to move all my possessions in this weather… I know that this area needs rain something fierce, but I also need to pack and clean the house before Friday night rolls around.

Be praying for us as we wrap up and head out. Also, stop by every now and then over the next couple of weeks. I plan on putting up pictures of the trip, where we are, how far we’ve gotten, and some shots of the city when we get there!
