Almost time to ship us out

Eight days and counting until we start our drive.



This has been a week of saying "see you later" (no goodbyes, please) and starting to stress with odds and ends. It's also been Big B's 9th birthday week. My parents visited and brought the cats back to stay with them while we get settled out west. There's been last visits with friends, a birthday lunch, a joint birthday party, a last Navigators meeting, and our last Sunday at Fellowship, complete with me giving a member testimonial in front of everyone. It's all been, well, more than a little emotional.



(See you later cats. See you later friends. See you later family. Thank you!! We love you all!!)


Amongst all that, I've spent the week busy getting permits for shipping crate placement, arranging for the ending of utilities here, thrift store pick-ups, packing, and getting carpet treatments done. M went out of town to research houses and areas of town in Portland. We applied for a rental house and are now just crossing our fingers and waiting to hear if we were the first applicants and if the timing will work out.

Oh, and we had an early Thanksgiving dinner.



As you might imagine, this afternoon involved a nap!
