Since Dad and Mom J came down for Josh’s graduation, we decided it would be best to pack up our apartment, load a truck, and have them drive our belongings to SC. It made for a very busy weekend (guests & graduation plus moving). Thankfully, I had a lot of help packing things up the week before. One of my best friends, Rebekah Pringle, flew in for 5 days to help with the packing. I don’t think it would have gotten done without her help. Another friend, Jan, came on Wednesday to pack up Becca’s room. Another friend, Anna, took Becca out for a morning so Jan could pack her room. These friends were a great help to us.

Monday morning we had a very educated moving crew. Three people with doctorates, one working on his Ph.D., and another working on his masters’. Dad J oversaw the logistics of loading the truck. Mom J finished packing up the kitchen. A friend from church, Megan, watched Becca and Isaiah while we loaded the truck. We are very thankful for everyone who helped us in packing up and moving our belongings. [And I’m so thankful I didn’t have to drive a huge truck from TX to SC! Thanks, Mom and Dad! -Josh]

We are now living with the Woods while we wrap up our last weeks in TX. We’re getting a chance to say goodbye to some of the friends we’ve made. Graduation weekend, we had a picnic with Dad and Mom J. and were able to get together with one of Becca’s NICU nurses – Miss Kathy. We’re so thankful for everything Miss Kathy did for Becca during her preemie days.

We enjoyed visiting with the Johnson family. We’ve made many good friends in Texas and are thankful for them all.
