We're pretty much ready!

Well, we're as ready as we're going to be. We've got most of the stuff we're taking with us consolidated into the closet of our office/sewing room, and most of the laundry is done. Thak and I don't plan on getting much sleep tonight since we'll be up doing the last of this laundry for at least the next couple hours. There will, of course, be no catnaps with Orren after Erin's at school in the morning either. The movers arrive at 9. We'll be tying up loose ends until they get here, disconnecting appliances, and all that other stuff.

What I do know is that tomorrow is going to be hard. Orren's stuff is all packed into the closet so that the movers don't take it, so we'll be doing tomorrow without his bassinet, without his play mat, without really much of any of his stuff that we use all the time. I don't know how we're going to do this, but I'm sure we'll find a way.

At some point tomorrow, I also have to go up to Erin's school and talk to the office people about getting her records ready for when we disenroll her next Tuesday.

Friday, as in day after tomorrow (well, technically tomorrow since it's after midnight already) the movers are coming back to take all our stuff away and drive it to El Paso, where it will go into storage until we call and schedule delivery to our new house which we don't have yet.

The weekend, we'll be spending trying to occupy the kids despite all our stuff being gone. We'll probably spend Saturday at the Irish children's festival in Savannah, and Sunday, maybe we'll head out to Tybee Island just to see the Atlantic Ocean one last time before we go.

Monday is going to be hectic as well. We may just keep Erin out of school that day. Early in the morning, the carpet cleaners are coming, and not long after that, we have to go to Savannah for my very LAST appointment at the birth center. While we're up there, we'll head to Chatham County Public Records, and get Orren's birth certificate.

Tuesday, we'll be cleaning the house from top to bottom to get ready for our move out inspection, which will take place Wednesday morning at 9. Also on Tuesday, we'll pick up our trailer from U-Haul, load the car onto it, and get our initial weight tickets. Then we'll come back here, load up all our stuff in the car and truck, and weigh it full to get our final weight tickets to turn into the transportation office at Ft. Bliss for our partial DITY move.

As soon as the move out inspection is done, on Wednesday morning, we'll be on the road, and hopefully will arrive safely in Jackson, MS where we'll spend the night. Thursday, we'll arrive in Dallas, and by next Friday, we ought to be in El Paso. With luck, we'll have a house by Monday, but who knows.

We'll be busy for the next week or so, but we can still be reached on both our cells. We're not going to change our numbers until we're absolutely done with everything from here (as in, we've received all our deposits back, gotten every payment for the move, and all that) so we'll probably have our Georgia phone numbers for at least a month after we arrive. When we do change our numbers, we'll text everyone with the new ones.
