MARCH MADNESS



Our family has always had a fun time with the March Madness over the years.  But, this March put a new meaning to the words MARCH MADNESS!  We received our final departure approval at the end of February, which meant, “Let the packing begin”.  After living in the same house for 10 years we had a TON of stuff to go through and organize (which you can just imagine!).  At the beginning of the month we also found out that other airlines wouldn't transfer luggage with Icelandair so we had to quickly make plans to get our belongings to Iceland by some other means. That meant we had a 5ftX5ftX5ft crate built.  While discussing this with my neighbor he informed me that he packs more than that when he goes on a camping trip… and come to think of it so do we!  LOL

After using every space in that crate that was available, we shipped it off to Iceland on March 16th.  Because of the craziness right now, the itinerary for the crate is as follows: Fort Worth to Houston, Houston to New York, NY to Europe, and Europe to Iceland.  WOW! What a journey just to go to the northern most Capital of the world. After we got the crate shipped off the madness continued with us packing, selling, giving, and donating the rest of the stuff in our house. And after all of that, we finally moved out of our house on the 31st of March.  Need less to say we didn't have time to watch the actual NCAA March Madness but we are glad to be apart of the Missions Madness and begin the next chapter in our lives by living in Iceland.  In 3 days we will be in Iceland. Please pray for us during this transitional time in our lives.  

Once again, we THANK YOU for your continued faithfulness, 
Andy & Kimberly
