This is it – our last day at ALERT! I can hardly believe it.
Last night we had dinner with Brian’s boss and his wife.
I pack up and move totally out this morning.
We have a farewell lunch at the dining hall
Brian’s family comes to help us paint and clean the apartment.
After the cleaning and fellowship with them , we head over to Maj. Behr’s house for a last goodbye.
Whatever time we finish up there we head out for Dallas and our first night in our new house.

We have a lot of friends here and we’ll miss them. But we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is where God wants us to go. We’re excited to start fresh and experience new things. We’re excited because God is in it so we know it will be good.

That’s why some people appear bright until you hear them.

Another picture post!
After moving in on Saturday we still had enough daylight to try out ALERT’s latest addition – the Rock Wall.

Stacie bravely volunteered to be the first climber, then Katie put us all to the test – if she could make it, then we had to! Lori made it to the top but unfortunately I was harnessing up and there were no good pictures taken of her. Please take my word for it that she preformed like a true Jones.

I went up next – climbing for two! Brian proved his manhood by mastering the overhang – the rest of us took the easier route to the right.

Finally Adam, the facilitator of the event, took his turn at the wall. After watching Katie play around on the lower half of the wall wile the rest of us climbed her turn he was convinced we had monkey blood in our lines.
We had a grand old time and I was glad to try it out before we had to leave – thanks Adam!

Major life happenings call for lots of pictures (just wait ’till the baby comes!) and I think that moving is a big life happening. We want to thank God for His amazing provision throughout this whole job finding and relocating process. We also want to thank those who lent a hand.
Stacie, Lori and Katie came and got us all packed up and load ed on Friday. The next morning we drove to Dallas with further recruited help in the form of Sam and Kevin. After signing all the necessary papers we were handed our keys and allowed to move in!

Here are the guys taking their share of the load – and the caravan it took to get all of our stuff there!
We unloaded the cars in an hour, then the guys took off to pick up some furniture Brian’s grandparents had found for us.

Meanwhile, the girls started to put the house in order. Stacie moves boxes around in the living room while Lori and Katie help me unpack the kitchen stuff. When the guys got back with the furniture we had some homemade pizza all ready for them and so our new house hosted its first guests!

Here’s the living room after we moved all the boxes to where they belonged – you can see the pile of empty ones in the corner. Also the “spare room” which will be our work/storage/guest room.

Next is the dining area with the kitchen beyond and our bedroom. It’s nice to have the house all set up so when we move in next week it won’t be utter chaos.

And here is Brian moving his most prized possession into his new place.
