Traveling
Thanks to the many who helped my family pack up the Penske. It was a BIG one too. I went in the morning to lay hold of my reserved truck and the lady gave me a much unanticipated "up-grade". I went from the 22' to the 26'. So, yes if you hear of any "big rig" wrecks on the road it could be me I suppose.
Seriously though, I am very greatful to all who helped. It was an emotional good-bye for my wife and I as we said good-bye to a loved apartment and much loved friends. God's providence has been more than kind to my family here in Chesapeake. We will miss it very much, but never be able to even remotely forget it.
Special "shout-outs" go to Doug Anderson, and Tim Barker. Doug flew down to VB in order to help me drive the "semi"-truck all the way back. He is a pretty good traveling companion and a great friend.
Barker, came down from Maryland and gave me a hand loading the truck. Our conversation went something like this: [Adam]"Woa! there he is! What are you doing here?" [Tim] When I heard that you were moving I thought that you probably use some help. I wasn't sure if you had any friends left." [true story] [Adam] "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I think I still have a few." He's a good guy that Tim.
Finally, we will be staying in Michigan for a few months (probably 3-3 1/2). Then we will be in Pittsburgh planting a church in the North Oakland section of the city. If any of you wish to give me all your money I will gladly take it, thank you. :)
No seriously, SEND MONEY.

thomas,
yeah, too bad you're not more like barker (who helped me move as well).
as i recall, you've taken cuts for much lesser occasions than my moving day, but somehow just couldn't find it in your heart to help me. thanks again for that; you suck as a friend.
of course, i was fully willing to heap coals on your big fuzzy head by helping you in michigan, but in a bit of poetic justice - baylor didn't think you were worth the trip (only his excuse was non-academic).
as for the money...
just remember that you promised me a cut - to the tune of $30/month.
no seriously...
pay up, thomas.
What?!? It was a serious question. I didn't know you had friends. I was shocked to find you so beloved. I thought for sure you were a hermit. Hey, since school is finally done for you we should all see some more info. on the blogosphere from you in the months ahead.
