...spontaneous trip...

Next Tuesday my boss, her husband and I will road trip to Corpus Christi!!! I'm pretty excited!

Here's the deal. When we moved into our new building with all new furniture, we had A. LOT. of furniture to give away. Several churches came and claimed their portion of the furniture. One of the churches that we had set aside some furniture for was a church in Corpus. For the past 18 months, we have stored the furniture for them, waiting for them to find a time and money to get a truck up to Houston to get the furniture.

It hasn't been a huge deal, so we have continued to store the furniture. Anyway, long story short, the place where we are storing the furniture is being rented out and now we really have to get rid of the furniture. I told my friend from the church, if they couldn't come get the furniture soon, we'd have to give it to someone else. She understood and said we should probably just let someone else have it. As sad as this made me, I didn't think we had another choice.

When I told my boss that we needed to find another church or group that could use the remaining furniture, she was equally as sad. She suggested that we pay for the cost of renting a van/truck for them to come get the furniture. Then we began dreaming about us driving a van down there and personally delivering the furniture!!! Super fun!!!

So, that's what we're doing! We'll head out Tuesday after lunch, deliver the furniture, stay with my parents and then head back to Houston some time on Wednesday! This is a rather small church that will really be blessed by this furniture! I can't wait to help them set it up!

I can't wait to show Susan and Joe a little bit of where I grew up! I'm sure I'll do a follow up post next week, with it being nablopomo and all...

Random thought/fact of the day: I'm very afraid that my Christmas shopping is going to sneak up on me!!! Trying to think ahead and spread out the spending...but it's so hard when you have a family as big as mine! Gotta get on it!
