After what seems like the longest wait I have ever had in my life, the move is finally happening. We are auctioning some of our household goods, our vehicles, and (hopefully) our house on December 1st. Pray that we have a successful open house and auction.
My only concern now is our visas. We have yet to send them in, but the Embassy says the turn around time is five days. They should FedEx tomorrow (banks closed today for money orders). Hopefully, there won't be any complications. It would be great if you could pray for this as well.
We will fly out from Chicago on December 7th. The relocation company is arranging for a short stay in London before we drive over to Pembroke.
I am so excited that I can hardly stand it, but there is still so much to do. Pray that I stay sane throughout all of this. 
And school? Not really happening right now. Just a little math and literature.
Thanks in advance for any prayers that you may send this way!
Update:
Please pray for us today and tomorrow as we have an open house from 3:00 to 6:00. Everything looks pretty good and hopefully someone will love our place and bid on it at the auction!
I plan to keep you ladies updated in this thread. Thanks so much for your prayers.

Oh my goodness, Carole! It must just take your breath away when the dream is being replaced with concrete plans! I am excited for you!
Prayers that the loose ends tie up neatly and for safe and peaceful travel.
Peace,
Nancy

Praying, Carole.
Track those visas carefully. Sometimes the typical turnaround time doesn't really happen, especially around holidays (like Thanksgiving next week...the gov't is prone to taking 1/2 days around holiday periods). Get delivery confirmation of everything. Call hourly if necessary.
I'm sure you're feeling thrilled and panicked. Hang in there. You'll survive...at the end it feels exactly like leaping off a cliff.
One idea...enlist a local friend to mail any leftover items to you (get customs forms from the post office for her), since there will probably be a few bits and pieces left behind after you pack out.
PM me for moral support, ideas, shoulders to cry on, whatever you might need...

I envy your adventurous spirit! We'll pray you through the tying-up of all the loose ends.
