After 3 days we have done it, the house is packed as of 10:30 pm Sunday night just 8 hours before the movers arrive. We made it to the top of this huge mountain only thing left to do is the bed were sleeping on and a quick clean and were on the road. Yes, Jodi and I still like eachother though tonight were a little punchy. Jodi said tonight this move thing seemed easier when we were 10 years younger. Both our backs are shot, we can barely bend down and there isnt a muscle that doesn't hurt. We need a three day car ride just to recover a bit. Now let's see if they can get it all on the truck their bringing we have never had much luck in the past it always seems they bring the wrong size to our house it would be nice if they get it in one shot. I can't believe it is June 25th tomorrow and were leaving California.
We have had some fun over the last couple of days mixed in with packing. Saturday night we had a great party at Susan's house with a lot of great friends. One more good bye for now. The food was excellent, Mexican, yummy!!! I also sampled one of Susan's famous margaritas, they will put some life in ya!!! It was tough leaving, Jodi had a real hard time there are some great stories and memories of awesome things we got to do out here.
Then today we met Jim and Sherri Heerwagen and their daughter Allie in Laguna Beach for lunch. Jim and Sherri were the second family Jodi nannied for in Texas. Their oldest son Austin wasn't there, Jodi and I met them when he was 6 months old. Jim and Sherri taught us how to bless people in many ways. At one point Jodi and I and our baby kitties lived with them for about 6 months after I finished college. Truly wonderful people and so glad we go to see them today. Laguna is amazing if you come to California it is where everyone should stay. Very different from LA and a amazing beach.
It is still all pretty surreal right now that we're leaving maybe it has been the craziness of packing that has kept our minds off it. The girls are having fun back in Minnesota. Nights are hard for them when thier tired they really miss us then. Thank you Aunt Mindy for taking them to the fair today they had a great time they told us all about it tonight. Abbey said you played cards tonight, watch out she cheats....just like her Uncle Brian or as we call him Uncle Toots!!! Just want to take a minute to thank everyone that has helped us out over the past three weeks as we have gone through this process, could have done it with all your support.
Hopefully if all goes well tomorrow, I will be blogging from somewhere in Utah as the "Trucker" takes to the road. "North bound and down, loaded up and trucking!!!
