As we rush to pack up the house, plan my sister's baby shower, get ready to spend a week in Nevada, and try to hang out with as many people as possible... we are trying to take time to enjoy our last few days here. To treasure our walks on the river trail, to share in the sweet laughter of a long-time friends, to give hugs, to have as much ethnic diverse food as possible, to just enjoy the home and community that we have so grown in over the last few years.
GOING AWAY PARTIES: Stay for a moment or the whole time, just come say "So long!"

- California Peeps: August 10th @ The Marker Home: (2195 cumberland Drive, Redding, Ca 96003) from 4pm-7pm.
Prayers Answered:
1. PLANE TICKETS: Plane Tickets have been purchased. There was a bit of a mix up but it all got sorted out and we will soon be on our way.
2. CAR: We were able to sell our Subaru Car to a friend of a friend and can now breathe easier knowing that it is out of our realm of responsibility.
3. JOBS: Matthew and I have both been able to transition smoothly from our old jobs and while we are sad to leave our co-workers, we are excited for our co-workers that we have yet to meet.
4. YARD SALE: Our Yard Sale fundraiser was quite a success, netting over $500 for our Trip. Thank you to all who donated items/stopped by to shop.
Prayer Requests:
1. VISAS: We are still waiting for them to be mailed to us. We know they will get here, but we would love for it to be sooner rather than later.
2. PEACE: Peace in the crazy, especially for Cynthia. We want to be able to enjoy our last few days here, not to get caught up in the little things (like how to pack the silverware or what type of tape to buy)
Thanks Again!
Love,
The Shedds
