So we are in our last week here in Surrey. It is bitter sweet to say the least. We are very excited about what lies ahead for us in our move to Victoria and the ministry at Saanich Baptist Church, but at the same time we have to move out of house that our 3 children were born in, that we have started our family in, and a great bunch of friends and to us as close as family...
Tonight we had a 'farewell party' with our great friends, the Frews, the Oldhams, the Vanderkuips, and the Unruhs. They are all great people and over the past 5 years we have really grown close together (well the ladies have, guys don't really grow close together, we save it for the women). It is weird to say goodbye because we really aren't going that far, with the ferry we are about 2 hours from our old house, but we know that it is enough to certainly make it different, and of course it eliminates any spur of the moment visits. We had a great time saying good bye at 'Go-Banana's' doing what we love to do, letting our kids run wild, while we eat food and talk, it is a great combination. Thanks guys.
As for our future, many likely haven't heard all of the details. We have found a place to rent. It is a 3 bedroom town house, about 1300 square feet, very similar to what we are currently living in. It is very expensive, we will be spending about 50 percent of our income on housing alone. But on Saturday morning the moving truck and our army of helpers will be showing up and we will be loading the truck and then jumping on the ferry. It should all be done by 5pm if things go as planned.
As for phone numbers and stuff, not completely sure yet. We have one, but Kellee wants to change it to something that is easy to remember, like our old number 9665. But I had to remind her that that number wasn't easy to remember until we dialed it a bunch of times...
So if we don't post for a week or so forgive us, we are up to our ears in boxes and goodbyes this weeks. But please email us. chris_synesael@hotmail.com or kellee_lin@hotmail.com
