We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us.

We’re in the process of going through all of our mementos of times gone by.   It’s a lot of fun to remember; but sometimes painful too.

We have decided to scan all of our old pictures.  Lucky for me I have a Father in Law who is willing to do the work for us with scanning.  It’s a big job, but it will be nice to store DVDs instead of mountains of pictures.

We have gone through Mark’s old Navy uniforms.  We’re keeping a few, but most of them are going to Goodwill.

I got rid of my graduation cap and gown. I have the pictures, tassel and diploma, and that is sufficient.

We are paring down our Christmas stuff.  That’s been difficult.

We will be moved out of this house a month from yesterday.  We will most likely spend a few days crying buckets while saying a mountain of goodbyes, and then drive into the sunset.

I cannot believe it’s happening so soon.  On the other hand, I’ve been waiting since I was 13 for this, and I can’t believe it’s taken so long to get here.

Either way, in the next month we have a lot to do to make this move happen.  Please pray for us that we have the energy to get it all done, and that the people buying our stuff are generous.

Thanks friends!
