Packing

I hate packing! But the house is now packed up and so are our bags. The house wasn't too bad because Krista and Pat are taking the house furnished so most of it is staying, but of course there needs to be room for some of their personal items and our dressers and closets had to be cleaned out.

So most of this was done last week and today was the day we stuff all the things that we're taking with us into suitcases. Those few remaining items that seemed like nothing as they hung so lonely in the closet seemed to expand and explode as we tried to squeeze them into suitcases. So how many did we end up with? Three medium suitcases, one small suitcase (a carry on that won't be carried on), and three back packs.

It's done, I'm tired, and the plane leaves tomorrow morning at 9:00 am. Seems impossible that the journey is finally beginning.
