My week of vacation turned out to be anything but relaxing. It was productive though which is a good thing considering how much we have going on. We areue in the last four nights of sleeping in our own beds for at least the next 6 weeks. The hotel has been booked and we begin staying up the street at a Marriott on Wednesday. My final day in the office will be this Tuesday as the rest of the week will be dedicated to staying at the house with the movers.
Moving is definitely different this time. We don't pack a thing as the moving company takes care of all of that. In certain cases they even outsource some of our packing to "experts" for a specific item. For instance, they have a separate company coming in that is dedicated to packing up our glass dining table top and the glass shelving on one of our entertainment centers! You would think movers would be equipped to pack everything, apparently not.
The good bye parties have started, John is out with his work this evening, my work is having a luncheon on Tuesday. John's family had a party for us last weekend and we celebrate with my family this coming Saturday. I am looking forward to being done with all the preparation and getting to spend some time relaxing.
The best news of the week has to be that all of our animals have temporary homes for the two years while we are away. Saying goodbye to them is going to be tough, but made easier knowing that we will have them back again. We begin our goodbyes to the animals tomorrow as Dietrich goes off to his new home. He has a great family and I think he is going to really enjoy being with them. I can't thank our friends enough who have so generously stepped up and helped us with them!
Big projects for this week, sell my car and pack up/ship out. This is it! We are almost on our way. No turning back now : )
