Packing up!

So we're busy packing up our house. Ok we still have 5 weeks to go but, it takes time and things won't pack themselves so, we're slowly packing things away and then finding places to put boxes mainly in the spare room for now,and later moving to other places, one of the main places is likely to be lofts so, if you know us then watch out, we might use your valuable loft space! If I'm completely honest saying we're packing is not quite as truthful as saying Lucy is packing things away. Luckily  Lucy is organised as Rich would most likely leave any packing until boxing day and then wonder why he didn't get it all done.

Other things that we've done in the last 3 weeks. Had a great time up at our Mission orientation program course up in motherwell, it challenging especially sitting in lectures again! but really useful getting information and thinking about possible challenges and how to overcome them. We were also able to meet up with the Parks who are old friends of the Cornelius family from their time in zambia. I just sat back while Lucy and Rhona suddenly transformed from English to African.

Our house has been on the rental market for about 10 days so far, we've had a few people look round our house so far hopefully we'll manage to get it rented out shortly, Given that we've only just over a month until we fly out its time to start telling people we're leaving phone, broadband, gas, electricity etc... hopefully that will all go smoothly.

There is lots going on in the next month as we lead up to christmas and to our departure, which is both exciting and scary, we'll try to keep you updated with how we're getting on!
