Out to Sea...

This has been a CRAZY couple of weeks. After we got back from LA, my amazing friend Whitney and her daughter, Hannah, and her mom and dad, Robbo and Ben, made the 5 hour drive from West Texas and brought us tons of stuff (yay for Macaroni and Cheese!!) to take to Zambia. Goodbyes are no fun. :(
Me and Whit

My mom, and Whitney's mom Robbo - best friends!

Then, on Monday, our 40 foot container arrived!!

We had 3 days to pack it completely airtight so that nothing inside the container can shift! We added a flatbed trailer and tons of sinks and faucets at the end, but amazingly we were able to fill it all up!! Thankfully we had Mama Dee and my Jessica there to help!


And of course, we put Caedmon and Cambree to work too! :)


Uncle Shade came over to help so the kids enjoyed some quality time with their cousin Andie as well!

So now our container is gone, headed to the port of Houston, Texas. It will be loaded onto a boat where it will sail to Beira, Mozambique. It will then be put on a truck and travel through South Africa, Botswana, and then up to Lusaka, Zambia. Once it arrives there, it will be put on another truck to Mapanza, Zambia, where it should find us in May or June! Whew!
