Hurry Up and......... Wait!

So much of our time back on furlough has been crazy busy: packing and rushing off somewhere for the holidays, getting together with friends we haven't seen in ages, unpacking, going somewhere new. A week and a half ago, I was packing up everyone. Julianne and I to head up to Portland for 5 days to visit Julie, and Matt and the kids to go to Grammy and Gramps. Then I got back from my Portland trip on Monday and it's been full-steam rushing and packing everyone up for our move to Texas (tomorrow). But now, everything is packed and in the car, ready to leave at sunrise tomorrow. And I have nothing that needs to be done! Nothing to unpack, nothing left to pack, no one to rush off and visit. And I don't know what to do with myself! Too much of the "hurry up and wait" that we experience so often in PNG.

I had kind of hoped that Matt and I could get out for one final date before we left the free babysitting. =) We were even given a money gift so we could go do something fun. But while we've been able to treat everyone around us, we haven't gotten to go do something 'just the two of us'. So I guess I'm a bit disappointed about that. I had hoped that if we got packed by our "deadline" today we'd have free time this afternoon or evening to get out and do something. But it looks like that's not to be.

So I'll just have to find something to fill my "wait" time!
