We're On Our Way

...well almost. We planned on taking 2 suitcases- we ended up with 4. We could have squished everything into 3 suitcases but that put them on the border of the weight limits! John is currently at Wal-Mart. I think it is our one millionth trip this week. He was getting everything ready for the computer and found that the power cord was broken! At least we found out before we left. Please keep us in your prayers this week. Thanks! John and Dottie
