Putting things away, packing things away and throwing things away.
And Emma and Abby are having a fashion show, trying on all the clothes I’m trying to deal with.
And then throwing them on the floor.
Gary has found a house that would be nice, but he’s not sure about the location. Lots of traffic close by, etc. He’s going to look at another one tonight. It has 5 bedrooms, but it looks like the study could be a sixth bedroom. I am anxious to know where our next house will be. The first owner accepted our application. Hopefully, the second one will be as quick about it, if that’s the house for us.
We’re still looking for movers and trying to decide our best, most cost-effective option.
We’re making good progress on packing.
The littles are patiently waiting. They don’t understand why we didn’t just go to Texas already. Sometimes, I wonder, too.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
Have you heard of PODS? We are considering this if we do a long distance move. They say it can save $$$ compared to moving companies. Maybe this might help for your upcoming move.

I just called PODS and checked with them, and it sounds so good that I think we’re going to switch to them. We will have all the time we need to load it and get it to where we will need to unload it. Their main concern is to take the stress out of moving, which sounds very good to me right now. We will have a whole month to do whatever we need to do. And it sits at street level so you don’t have to carry and push everything up a ramp.
Thank you so much for suggesting PODS. I think it’s going to be very good for us!
