Save the Date

So we’ve got big news: We have chosen a moving date! 

July 26, 2014

This may not seem like a big deal, but it is for us. Choosing a specific moving date allows us to plan much more concretely. We can work backwards from that date and fill in our calendars with other, smaller deadlines we need to meet. There is still quite a lot to do:

• Find a place to live
• Arrange health insurance of some kind
• Downsize our house and belongings
• Raise the remainder of our financial support

We have already begun basic Internet searches for apartments in the general section of New York near Priority 1’s current apartment and the school where Ginny will attend. It’s fun to look around, to see what is available and where. To picture living on that particular block and seeing how much we could walk to or how long it would take to get to the subway.

We have also noticed that many apartments require proof of a certain level of income, a fact that reinforces to us that we need to bring in as much support as possible. Currently, we have raised approximately 60% of our monthly needs – we’re very pleased with that! But of course, we still need more. We are planning in faith that we can raise what we need in time.

So please pray about coming on our support team. Please don’t feel as though you don’t have enough to give – even $5 or $10 a month would help! Of course, more than that would help even more :), but we’re searching not so much for a certain amount as we are for people who will join us on our journey. It’s about people, not money.

Too, please keep praying for us! There is much to do, and we can’t do it on our own.
