Packing Things Up

This week has been full of boxing things up, cancelling utilities, moving things into storage, etc., etc. I've also managed to meet with a few young people, particularly the guys the I've invested most in. Yesterday, I sold my car, which turned out to be really good timing. I was left a deposit and we made plans to transfer the rest of the funds and hand off the car by this next Friday. Kristy and I are in Ireland for most of the next week after that, before we head back to the States on October 9.

Last night, I had a great time hanging with lots of friends at Bruce Moulding's birthday party. (30 yrs. old, today.) We all got him gifts that reflected his personality and the creativity was impressive, if not hilarious at times. He's a good man.

Tonight, some people have planned some sort of "going away" party or social or something after the evening service at Hightown Baptist. All I know is that, at some point, I'll be interviewed about what I've learned in my 2 1/2 years here in England and that kind of thing. Knowing this group of people, there'll also be some embarrassing pictures, lots of laughs, and food.
