We're ready. Not ready in the sense that we've forgotten what it will be like to not have a home here in the states, not ready in a sense that we've raised all our support, not ready in the sense to "get to work", not ready in the sense we have crossed every "t" and dotted every "i", not ready in the sense that we have everything mapped out, and not ready even in the sense that we've become restless...(OK, maybe a little).

One last note...we received our container's (the large box with all we possess) tracking number via email last week! It is on the ship and headed out to sea. It's first stop is a small island called Malta. Kinda wish I had a camera of it's voyage.
