The packing and goodbyes continue. Apparently Washington's weather has decided to welcome us in Texas as it is very cloudy and rainy today in Wylie. Harley and I have managed to get rid of most of the things we decided not to take on the move. We picked up the U-Haul this morning. We are happy to report this one will probably make it to Redmond! This is only the second time our family has moved. Four years ago we were "lucky" enough to get a 1984 model U-Haul with a 4-speed manual transmission. The company assumed we knew how to drive a manual and it looked more like something that came out of the old movie "Saving Arizona" as it reminded us both of the motorcycle with the fire coming out the back.
The plan is to continue to pack, spend time with family and spend the night at a nearby Holiday Inn Express on Sunday night before handing over the keys to the owner's rep. on Monday. Then we will start our journey to Redmond. The great thing is we managed to get reservations at the same chain all the way up to Washington. So when all this is said and done we should have 3 or 4 free nights to use for weekend mini-vacations!

Goodbyes are Never Easy
We continue to go through stuff to see what we could possibly live without. I found a wonderful couple to give Trintiy's baby clothes to that she has outgrown as we are out of the baby business. Meleah tells everyone (including strangers) that she is moving to Washington. I think she is excited about it and her only concerns are if the Tooth Fairy will know where to find her when her next tooth falls out. She hasn't thought about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny yet! Oh to be 5 again.
Last weekend was awesome. All of Carrie's sisters and their kiddos got together at her Mom's place for Gabie's Birthday. It was the first time Gabie had been home from South Korea in almost a year and a half. With us moving to Washington we didn't know when the next opportunity would be to get pictures of all my mom's grandkids together would be. So we brought out the good camera that day!
Of course Meleah is the beauty on the bottom with her tongue sticking out! Gosh it's hard to get a good picture of that many people at one time is all I can say.
This coming weekend we will spend Saturday at Harley's sister's house celebrating her daughter's 2nd birthday. I know we are only moving 2,000 miles away but the goodbyes are starting to happen and are being a bit harder than what we expected. As they say life is never easy and Thank God for the internet as I couldn't imagine what it would be like back in the 1800's and before when someone would get married and leave never to be heard from again or rarily IF you are lucky.
