Yes, I'm Blogging....

because several in my family seem disappointed that I've not kept up to the minute. ::snort::

Here are some random shots from the last few days.... I love my packers and I think they love me. ::snort:: It's nice to have packers happy with you. All the storage stuff is packed. It will be loaded on to the truck tomorrow.

The kids enjoyed a full and fun day with the A family. Deja - thanks for dinner as well.

Jamin came over to help. He and Jared went out with a friend tonight and ended up over at Jamin and Josiah's apartment. They need some "home boy" time.

Tomorrow will begin bright and early with packers arriving at 8 and a painter at 9 a.m.

Masking tape "x's" seem to be the universal packer speak...they love all the tape. ::snort:: Thanks Angel and Betsy for the tip. They've not even given my precious books a second glance and went right to the shelf that was untaped to pack for storage. LOL

I don't think trips to Goodwill will ever end....

Take away my exercise ball and THIS is what I meant about pro-gear taking over my bedroom. LOL

Prayer Request Update

Some of you have been praying for Jerry - in the Prayer Request section in the side bar. Jerry was a retired Navy chaplain who was a faithful attendee and supporter of our local chapel. About 3 - 4 weeks ago he was diagnosed with cancer.

He died this a.m. Please remember to pray for his family and friends who will miss him. Through the tears, as I got the phone call and digested the news, I smiled...because our Jerry had such a dry sense of humor. He always had a twinkle in his eye - that's rare you know. I can see him, free of pain and having a grand time with Jesus.

Thanks for your prayers for Jerry over the last few weeks. He's now truly home free!

TRUCKS and BOXES

Zander is full of helpful advice for the movers....

Stacia is indignant, "What are they DOING with our things?"

We grabbed the moving book, reminded her (and all listened) what we've been telling her would happen, talked about where Zander's Dinosaurs are (on the truck heading to the ship with our hold baggage), let Stacia move her favorite things into boxes in the book....and now she's o.k.

I RESCUED my wedding dress....I simply can't imagine it in a warehouse and most likely it would be fine....but we've inherited someone's patio furniture from storage...so sometimes things get lost. I'll have the girls or mom store it for me.

Yes, I've taken tons of photos and when I can grab a moment, I'll post. You know for military gals this is old hat...this is what we do...but it seems that some of you are loving the inside look at a move. ::snort::

Deja - we're heading your way as fast as I can break away.

SSS Just a reminder that the topic of this week's Super Size Saturday will be GAMES. If you've written a post in the past on your favorite family games, find that link and come back to link to Mr. Linky on Saturday. If you've not written a previous post NOW would be a great time to share your favorite games. You can share current family favorites, you can share games you loved to play as a child, you can share games for toddlers or youth.....or all ages....

I'll schedule Mr. Linky to go up on Friday - 10 p.m. (CST). I look forward to reading your posts. If you need more info on Super Size Saturdays read this.
