Medical Clearance!

Yesterday after over 3 months of waiting, we got medical clearance!  I was told it could take up to three weeks more, which seeing as we're already so down to the wire would mean that Kyle would have to go without us, and we'd have to join him there in Okinawa.  But through an act of the Lord, Titus' medical clearance came through late yesterday afternoon!  Today we are submitting for area clearance, the next step towards scheduling our move and moving date. I am praying we will be able to leave for our family vacation in Hawaii on September 3rd per our prior arrangements, without anyone having to stay behind or come back early to finish packing. It's crazy how close this is all getting, but I trust that the Lord knows what we need. Things still to do is a final yard sale, selling our cars and motorcycle (the process is already started), scheduling TMO (and then moving :) ), and finally cleaning the house and checking out of housing! We would appreciate continued prayer as there are still some things out of our control that need to fall into place before we can check out here, and set our sights on "The Orient" (as my grandma would say). :)  But as it is, we're one step closer to being on our way...and that is a HUGE blessing!!!
