The official countdown has begun. We're getting excited and just a little nervous. After all, we've never even seen the house in Texas. I keep wondering if I'm being just a little bit idiotic!
We've started to look for a little truck in Texas. We're hoping to find a little mazda or nissan so that we'll be able to transport supplies easily. We've bought a fixer upper, and we're pretty sure a truck is going to come in handy.
Well, this week Tanner has to make sure that all of our stuff is assembled from the vast array of family that we have here in good ol' PDX. He has to pick up a bunkbed, clean our stuff out of the barn, check the attic and the tool shed, take down the Christmas lights, and box and bundle it all up before this weekend. My checklist is to get the garbage, water, gas, electricity and phones all lined up in C.S., pack up the kitchen and arrange for swimming lessons. And then we have decisions to make like: do we take my dresser or even the girls dresser? (They're really rickety and splintering.)
Anyway, Saturday and Sunday are the official time to pack up days and our day of departure depends on the weather forecast. I think I need a paper bag: breathe in--out--in--out.
I was just thinking: what am I going to do without my mom's library? I'm so used to being able to go over, pick out a book, read it, return it, pick out another book. I can tell that there is going to be a lot of adjusting in Texas.
