Well, this is half way through my first week of serious packing and pitching and I have all my packing done in the upstairs! Of course that is the easy part of the house the hall and bath room didn't really require much work. Our bed room however was another story. I have taken out 20 bags of "get rid" of stuff and packed 26 boxes!
Today I am going easy. I had lunch with a friend and had to stop in at JC Bodyshop to get online and just check in-i miss this place already! And I have to shop a little, I'm out of trash bags-surprise, surprise- and it is so hot and there is no air at the house, well downstairs there isn't. So I am hoping for a cooler day tomorrow. I also have three loads of laundry calling my name at the camper so I just have different work to do I guess.
The plan is still that Jake and I will leave next weekend, but now we are looking at flying rather than driving so that takes a load off. I was worried about my car making the trip and being without Mark if something did breakdown. So this will be fun. I love to fly!
Jake is moving very slowly in his room. He has inherited the pack rat gene from both parents so he is struggling to let go of his treasures, you know all those dollar store and happy meal kind of treasures. I spent a few hours trying to help direct him yesterday. He is getting better. We are still packing more than I would like of his stuff, but I can always go through just his stuff when we unpack again! He will be in school then-hehehe ;).
I guess that is the news on the move for today. I will try to update at least once more when I know when I am leaving for sure and all that.

We attended First Wesleyan while we were at SWU - - - I LOVE Pastor Fred and Sonnie Andrews.
Hey, if you happen to come across my training cds from Ilene Meckley...I'd love them back! I know it's not top on your mind, but while you are sorting to pack. Hope you got the wardrobe boxes I left on the porch for you.
Happy packing, sorting, and tackling the stuff! We thought we had good success, but when we had the largest Penske truck and a trailer behind it (still leaving a bunch behind) we realized we hadn't sorted enough!
I love cross-country moves. Any move. So much fun. But I'm excited for the new opportunities you'll have!
