Off-Line

I will be off line for two weeks or so as we wait to have internet placed in our new home, how am I going to survive without email contact that long?? I guess it will give me lots of extra time to set up a household in Thailand. We will check out of our hotel in the morning and spend our first night in our new home tomorrow night. Now that it's a done deal I feel scared, hoping and praying this really is the house for us. The boys reminded me how God opened the door at this particular house for us to lease it. I will have pictures some time and tell you the whole story about how it all came about. I don't want you all to see pictures until I have had a chance to warm it up a tad. It's a brand new house that has never been lived in. It has a pretty pool and a nice size pond with a huge yard and 6 foot rock fence around the perimeter. Every bedroom opens up unto the pool, it has one huge family kitchen area, that will be the challenge area, trying to arrange the furniture in such a way that it feels homey. It's flooring is entirely tile to help keep it cooler which also adds to the cold feeling..We had very good news though, we were notified that our sea container should be in Thailand by September 5, it can stay in customs for up to two weeks but we were fully expecting that it could be 4-6 more weeks before we received our furnishings. Our landlord graciously left 3 beds and one small table with 5 chairs in the house for us. We have linen in our air shipment with a setting of dishes for each of us, a bare minimum of pots and pans, some additional clothes, and our computers. How about this for a new address: Mark Northcutt 43/54, Moo 1, Pornchai Vithee 10, Off Crocodile Farm Lane, Banglamung Chomburi, 20150 Thailand, does that crack you up? How in the world am I ever going to commit that to memory? Pray for us as we start our new life off Crocodile Farm Lane.
