We're leaving!

We thought we'd put post one more quick update before we leave for Nova Scotia TOMORROW MORNING! As you can see below, we bought a new (to us) car. C.J. looked at quite a few places, but ended up finding a 2004 Honda Accord with low miles at a great price. We bought the car last Saturday and love it so far--and C.J.'s gotten to know it quite well in the past week! We found out that we would have to get it licensed and registered in Missouri before we could take it into Canada. We thought we could possibly take care of this through the mail, but were told by the state that it would take 4-6 weeks. So, C.J. drove down to St. Louis on Tuesday, took care of all the licensing stuff, and headed back to Spring Lake the next day. He did get to see a bunch of friends while he was there, so it wasn't a complete loss, but driving 14 hours to sign his name about 5 times was a bit much.

Our new car and computer--yay!

The last few days we've been packing a lot and trying to figure out what we need and don't need in Canada. It's amazing how fast this time in Michigan has gone. Please pray for us as start our drive to Nova Scotia tomorrow morning and for a place to live there. We have a few people helping us out on that end, but still haven't found a place to call "home" there. We'll try to keep you updated as much as we can on our trip. We're planning to stay at Niagara Falls, in Boston, and at Acadia National Park on our way out, so it should be a fun trip.
