"If We Aren't Packed We'll Just Go Later." -Ben (10)

Yes, he said that tonight, when I went in to a panic and told him that my children were going to have to do more for themselves for this brief time in their lives. So we had a big clarification talk and now I think he understands that we are going. And we will be ready.

The time is set: The moving truck is picked up at 9am on Saturday, July 28. We are asking friends if they will come help load from 10 until 12 or 12:30pm. We will provide pizza and beverages. The truck will be set to depart no later than 1pm. If you've moved with Mike, you know that 90% of our belongings will be packed by 10am. The rest will be finished while the truck is being loaded.

More on today tomorrow when we (hopefully) know more about the outcomes of today's events.

Although it's been nearly 6 years the anxiety and emotion behind our own cross country move is something I distinctly remember. Saying a prayer for your family during this move - I'm glad you've been blogging through the process. It will be a great experience for your entire family to revisit this experience through your blog in the years to come.
