Wow these past few weeks have flown by. I realize that I haven't written in my blog in over a month. I apologize. I want to at least write something once a week, but these past few weeks have been crazy.
What have I been doing?
Buying tape, stalking people at meijer and walmart so i can steal their very large empty boxes, using those empty boxes to pack, selling things, cleaning the empty shelves, trying to make our somewhat empty home look like a home and last but not least enjoying my last few weeks with my dear family and friends.
How have I been doing?
I've been doing pretty well. Besides packing up there have been a lot of other things going on. My Grandpa hasn't been doing the best and has been in the hospital for almost a month now. That has been tough. I am very close with my family and it's been hard not living closer to them. Also a couple weeks after my grandpa was admitted to the hospital my Great Grandma Sheets passed away. This has been hard, but I rest assured knowing that she lived a long, wonderful life and she is now spending eternity with our Saviour! :)
Just a couple things I wanted to share and then I'm off to bed. I've been thinking a lot lately about my Grandpa Norris and the amazing life that he has lived. This guy doesn't know a stranger at all. Eric and I went to visit him a couple of nights ago and couldn't remember his room number so we ended up asking the receptionist at the front desk of the hospital. Her response was, "That James Norris, I should just write his name and information down on a piece of paper and keep it here on my desk. He is our most popular guest here in the hospital. :) That's my grandpa. I hope that I can show love the way that he has and continues to do despite his rough situation. No matter if he has stomach problems, a blood clot, amnesia, hallucinations, strokes, internal bleeding... he still shows Christ to others and prays continuously for the lost people in our world. :) What a blessing my grandpa has been to me. :) If you read this grandpa, I love you so much! Thank you for being an example of Jesus to me! I will never forget the things that you have taught me and the unconditional love that you have shown to me.

(I will try to write more later this week. Please pray for us because tomorrow is our last day to pack everything up. We are getting the Uhaul on Friday and moving all our stuff Friday and Saturday. I can't believe we are moving to Poland in less then 2 weeks! How exciting!!!)
