5 more days and counting!

Hello all,
I'm sure you are all wondering "when are the the McGee's going to update their blog?". Well, today is the day. We want to give you all a quick update on what is going on. We are on the last leg of our journey before we fly out on Saturday. A few weeks ago we had an excellent farewell party in Johnston at Ashley's sister's house, followed by a commisioning at Ashley's home church the next day. We then spent a few weeks in Petersburg, VA at Sarah's parents house. There we packed (and packed), which is harder than you may think. Ashley also took his board exam. Maggie was able to experience her first water park (we'll have to load some photos later.
Last week we headed down to Greensboro, NC to spend some time with Sarah's grandparents. Last night we made it in to Atlanta to spend some time with Sarah's sister. This will be our base of command until we fly out.
Pray for us that we will be able to relax and enjoy our time here, but that we will also be able to get all of the last minute things accomplished that we need to before we leave.
Check back with us again soon for next stage in our journey!
