Holy crap! A second post on my blog!

So yes, I do have something to write today, not much but just enough to keep my faithful blog audience interested. Really, I'm just stringing you along, and will strictly maintain my one blog entry per six weeks schedule. Well, hopefully I'll do a little better than that once we're settled into Phoenix. I wanted to write and thank all of you: friends, families, loved ones--for your help. Not just with moving and packing and stuff, but with LIFE! Thank you. It is going to be so hard for Becca and I not to see you all constantly. We will try to stay in touch with you all, please try and do the same.

I also feel the necessity to comment on how silly it is that my blog lists the time of the posts of my entries and related comments, but not the date. How useless is that?

Please pray for Gary, Susan, Becca & I to have a safe trip across the country to Phoenix, and that I get this job at the seminary, and that everything else falls into place as well. We're leaving behind so many loved ones, and really everything and everyone we have known for these past 7 or so years. It's terrifying, there's a kind of surrealness about it that is so intense that it makes me use the word surreal even though I'm not entirely sure if I'm spelling it correctly. Becca & I are both feeling really calm about it, maybe it's shock, maybe it's just the peace of Christ which passes all understanding. Let's hope it's the latter.

Again, we will miss all of you, you are in our prayers and in our hearts. You really have become dear to us, and we've shared so much of life together with you that it's scary to think about living life apart from you all now.

Well, that's all for this six weeks. I'll write again mid-September. :)

Thanks for blogging- Don't worry about us being unfaithful checkers of your blog. Most of us will probably check it faithfully everyday, every hour, every minute, until you post another blog entry. "Then what will happen", you ask. Well, we will read the blog a few times, think about what you said, write a worthless comment (like the one I am now engaged in writing), and then we will sit here and wait, and wait, and wait. You ask why your blog doesn't tell the dates of the post- well the answer is obvious. Do you really think we would go without checking your blog for over a day?! So we would certainly know what day you posted. The reason it tells the time is for those people who have to get up to go to the bathroom or something ridiculous like that. Anyway, that's just the way the world works. The world revolves around blog entries- welcome to the world Lee Richards.

In all seriousness though, I will miss you guys and make sure you write more than once every six weeks;)
