OHMYGOSH We are Moving in a WEEK!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
After a VERY successful candidating weekend and a nearly unanimous vote we are OFFICIALLY moving to Columbia, Illinois one week from tomorrow - that would Monday, November 26th, 2007 (in case you are reading this in the future )!! Lots to pack, lots of details to wrap up and on top of everything else, I still have to do my old job until Sunday - including a Thanksgiving Eve Ecumenical service, a wedding, Sunday Service, a few last visits, and newsletter stuff. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This is definitely going to be an ADVENTURE on a scale that only we Avise-Rousey types would ever dive into willingly and with eyes wide open. I believe that we have not only learned to define ourselves through our adventures, but that we come to know ourselves, each other, our world and even God through our adventuring in the metaphorical jungles, swamps, canyons and caverns of modern everyday living!!!

I think I'll get some sleep now (while I can).

Peace and goodnight,
Kristofer
