Moved!!

It was a busy weekend around the Dixon house. Saturday Tracey and I woke up early to do a yard sale. The first customers arrived shortly before 6am. Needless to say we weren't quite ready for them. The yard sale was nothing short of miraculous as by the end of the day we had made about $1,000! Our good friend John Crook came early in the morning to help us set up and then entertained Olivia and Sawyer for a few hours. This was a tremendous help. Thanks John!! Praise God for bringing people to buy our things! These funds will help us to replace some of them in Costa Rica.

Following the yard sale we finished packing up our house. We did take a break for a picnic dinner from McDonald's in the dining room. This was followed by all of us laying in the living room (all the furniture sold) to watch Finding Nemo on the computer (The TV sold as well). It was a memorable last night in our home. Once the kids were asleep we worked to finish packing.

Sunday after church we loaded our things into a trailer, the back of two pick-ups and a few odds and ends in a suburban and moved out of our house. Thanks Hector, Jonathan, Tricia, Micah, Noah, Owen, Mike and Carol for your help moving! Mike and Carol Alipaz are graciously allowing to stay with them until we move to Costa Rica. So our things are stored in their garage and driveway. This time has reminded us of the tremendous blessing good friends are and how God has richly blessed us with many great friendships.

This week we are busy with things like doctors appointments, painting and cleaning our house, working on support raising, and trying to get a little bit of rest. Though we are tired our hearts are full of gratitude and we are overwhelmed by the love and care of friends and more so of our Heavenly Father.

Please remember to keep us in your prayers, especially Olivia and Sawyer during our transition. They are doing amazingly well considering their world's have been turned upside down!
