So it’s feeling more real every day.  I’ve now picked out company housing online, met with the movers, and notified the kids schools that the 19th of April will be their last day.

We also decided how we will get to Seattle.  We wanted to drive but in the end we decided to fly.  Although it makes things easier it also means all the cleaning supplies, pantry foods, and any additional items I wanted to bring with us now can’t go.  Our things will be in storage for up to a month so unless it’s a sealed never been opened food package it’s not a good idea to store.  The movers told me yesterday that spray paint and most cleaning supplies can not go with us.  So yah, that’s kinda where it’s gonna hit the pocket book.

We’re hoping to be out of here by the 20th and my 8 yr olds birthday is April 30th.  So instead of having a party with friends he doesn’t know we are giving him his party this weekend.  Luckily the only thing I had to do was send the invites and get a cake.  I opted out of doing any party planning this year and he’s very happy.  He’s been wanting a Main Event Party for a couple years now but they’re so expensive it’s been out of the question.  We’re still stretching to get this one done but it’s his last birthday in Texas with his friends…..so yah, we decided it was time.

This weekend we plan on purging some more and getting things organized to be packed.  They won’t insure it if we pack it so we’re going to let them do it all, lol!  But I might pack my underwear drawer….that’s just weird having someone pack it, hahaha!!.
