Moving Day

I'm trying to keep out of the way while the movers are packing up all of our belongings. Eric is holed up in one of the upstairs rooms working from home and Mugsy is hiding under the couch. We were allotted 3 days for the movers; they say it should all be done by this evening.

Our air shipment limit is 400 lb; ocean and storage are considerably larger (though not limitless). The air shipment is supposed to arrive within 15-20 days and the ocean takes 6-8 weeks. We have to work out our visa requirements (which we can't do until we are there) so the air shipment will likely be delayed by a couple of weeks. It's weird to think that this is the last we'll be seeing some of this stuff for at least 2 years.

The empty house reminds me of our newlywed days in Albuquerque where we had barely enough stuff to fill the back of a pickup truck. We had a lot of fun then and the next couple of weeks should be an adventure, too.
