The home stretch...

eek! we have less than 48 hours left in North Carolina and the house is abuzz with lots of moving related activity. Have I told you yet that this whole thing doesn't feel real to me?

getting laid off from your job gifts you with lots of free time, something that was much needed in preparation for the move. There is so much to do when you try and move across the country- looking back, I can't believe it all got accomplished! I have officially crossed off the following on my relocation task list:

  • Find job (check.)
  • Find apartment (check.)
  • Rent out our house (check.)
  • Move out of our house and in with our parents (ahh, check.)
  • Enroll Josh in school (check.)
  • Get financial aid set (biggest headache ever! check.)
  • Sell/give away 3/4ths of our belongings and all of our furniture (check.)
  • Get josh's transfer set with UPS (actually, this was the biggest headache ever. check.)
  • Make sure Kinny isn't a pit bull (check! woohoo.)
  • Drive 1600 miles across the country. awesome.

There are about 25 million more things that just aren't coming to mind right now, but with as many variables as we had floating around over the last month- there is no doubt in my mind that God has worked out every detail for us. There were so many things that could have gone wrong and kept us from taking this leap.. but they didn't. Glad God is in control and not me :)

Off to do more packing :)
