It all Fit...


We packed the Souza's van the night before we left. 
 Jammed tightly in the crates and carry ons

Loaded in the back of the Souza’s van
Piled high onto a rolling luggage cart
Onto the first and second planes, even though the luggage scanner was broken
Onto another huge luggage cart in the San Jose, Costa Rica airport
Through the scanners at Customs
Into another van, for a big tip,
Into our new living room.

I’m so glad we brought the legos, the phone, good pots, the electric skillet, my garlic press, favorite teas, canisters to keep out the ants, favorite pillows and blankets, clothes for school, umbrellas, school supplies, shoes, tech stuff, backpacks.  It was worth it!  Everything here is twice as expensive and difficult to shop for since we walk or take a taxi everywhere.  We had everything we needed to start living when we landed.
Thank you, Mom and Dad, for taking such good care of us and the Laymans during our final week.  Thanks to Rose, Bailey, Desi, Ken and Jesarah for helping us clean up the house.  Thanks to the Souzas for feeding us, packing us, and getting us to the airport.  That drive to San Francisco was a nail biter!  Thanks to the Foggs for greeting us in Costa Rica and getting us everything we needed.  Having food in the fridge for our first morning was lovely.   We are blessed.

Isaiah found a place to sleep while we moved the luggage into our new apartment.
