Leaving NY withing days….

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Wed: Both of us had our last day of work.

Thurs: We spent all day packing and then went to our last Bible study at the Starr’s house

Friday: Woke up early, packed more, my father and friend Harold came up with truck and trailer. A few hours later the trailer and the truck were packed. Our apartment was basically empty except for odds and ends and finishing up cleaning the apt before we left. We were able to fit most of our stuff into a storage unit in Prattsburgh (Thanks for your help Dan). We then drove back up to LeRoy where Laura was finishing up the cleaning and packing. Filled the truck and left our apartment in LeRoy empty.

We spent the rest of the weekend with my family. Good to be able to spend quality relaxing time with them all, as well as eat great home made food. Sunday we went to Prattsburgh Bible Church. We went in front of the church, gave a quick update to the church and then the Pastor and elders comissioned us and prayed for us as we prepare to leave everything and everyone here in NY and go out to MN.

Monday we left my parents house (sad times) and headed out to Laura’s family where we are right now.

We have a few going away parties before we depart for Minneapolis. Tom and Cindy threw this party: friends from school, friends from our Sunday school class and others. We had pizza and wings: Cindy cooked Bachwa Dip (BarbeQ Chicken Wing Dip + Tom cooked me a huge seasoned tenderloin… Thanks TOM!)

Move coming fast!

We continue packing things for our upcoming move.  We will be storing the majority of our things in a storage unit in Prattsburgh, NY.  We will be going on in one car to start with and living with another couple, Ralph and Mary.  We will be staying with them for a few months while I continue to support raise and we get a good lay of the land.  Only a few weeks left!

1st Blog post

Welcome to this new Blog.

Yesterday we started sorting through things as we have officially begun packing for our move to MN. Its sad to sort through so many things, memories etc. But its good to donate things I don’t need or have a use for. This will be a complete new start for Laura and I. We have God and each other… what more could we ask for.

I have started working on my ethancook.net website. This website will have information on “the Cooks” during our transition out to MN and all that happens after that.
