Moving


I'm so happy today. We finally got our pack dates for our move. Our first 1200 lbs which will be shipped via air (it's called our express shipment) will be packed out on June 26th. These are things we need like cribs, pot/pan, linens, etc. Rob's GPR graduation is on June 27th. On Monday June 30th they'll pack out our 3600 lbs "slow boat" household goods shipment. On July 1st all the stuff in storage will be packed. On Wednesday, July 2nd we'll catch the flight to Seattle, spend the night in Seattle and then catch the Patriot Express at 6am on July 3rd. We'll arrive in Oki on July 4th. I just hope it won't be too much craziness trying to arrive on the 4th of July. We are pretty stoked. I'm excited to bring just a few hundred more pounds that what I was expecting and I'm excited to get there a little earlier than I thought. It still seems like we have so much sorting to do for the different shipments, but hopefully if we start working on it early it won't be too much of a hassle. Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement. Oh, and here's a picture from when the movers packed us up in Cleveland.

Yea- Melissa. You actually know when your coming! I'm so glad you have a plan. Nick will also have the day off so we can help you guys get places since you'll need two cars with luggage and kids. Now just get your sponsor to book the West Pac ASAP. I'm so excited!

Way to go on the packing! It is probably so nice to have the dates all in line now. Love the quilt. You are very talented! The pictures of the training look like fun too. Those will be fun pictures to have as memories!

It sounds so exciting. I wish we could have movers come pack up our stuff. I am not looking forward to doing that again.
