Nearly ready for the BIG MOVE!!!!!!!!!!

Boy has it been a LONG couple of weeks for us.   We have packed...packed some more and then packed some more...the moving truck comes on Wednesday and I have never...well, in a while, been happier thinking of seeing our belongings leave...I am sorry to all who will wear themselves out carrying and lifting...we love and appreciate ALL the help we have received and will receive with this move.   The STAUNTON BRANCH rocks...and that is a great thing.   This has been the best Branch we could have moved into!   Thanks so much for EVERYTHING!!!!    Of course, we know where we are moving to and that is a fabulous ward!!!!!!   We pray the Fort Wayne 1st ward members will be there to help as well.   We so much appreciate our friends!!!    
We have to say a very very special thanks to Shawna, our sister...and Mom Dunbrack for all their help.    I mean, they don't want us to leave, however, they are running around for us like they always do!   Shawna is like a tornado going through the house packing and cleaning...she has things in boxes and taped up before I can get in the room...   She is ONE AMAZING WOMAN!!!! I can learn a lot about so many things from her and I have.  It has been more than a blessing being able to live close to her and her family for the last 10 months.   We love them ALL so much.    Jeff's mom, my mother in law is the greatest mom, besides my very own.    She is the most wonderful and kind person!   She is there for all of her kids through all things.   I love her so much.    Thanks so much Patsy and Shawna for saving our lives during this move and the whole ten months we were here...YOU have made it so wonderful and successful.   We love you!

Where is a truck when you need one?

Jeff and I have to leave all our furniture behind...well, the big pieces...I have a mattress I can buy but can't transport it once I get it...it is in Churubusco.    Of course, all of my muscles have slipped and don't do me much good when I have to have them for lifting!!   Jeff has bad knees...maybe we will just not sleep (oh, I am already not sleeping)  Nice to have a bed tho!   I am going crazy...sometimes I wonder why we didn't buy a truck...we seem to haul a lot of stuff around.   UGH.   Just an old one like this would be good...or would it?   haha.

How much stuff can two people and a cat acquire?

Here we go again!!!    I can't believe how much the two of us and a cat have to box up!!!!!   I mean, we got rid of so many things before we moved here and I am boxing up stuff right and left.   We will come back to Indiana with not much furniture again.   I still have boxed well over 30 boxes and haven't even gotten most things packed.   It is weird.   Oh well...we will get rid of our living furniture again.   Craigslist has been so good to us.   We can get VERY NICE furniture on craigslist for not a lot of money.   It is cheaper than moving it.   Strange but true.   That is what we did when we came out here.  Hopefully, this will be amongst our last moves ever...and hopefully it will be a while before we move again...  Maybe the next move will be our own home?   Who knows.   I don't mind renting IF it is a good place to live.   We really loved Windsor Oaks in Fort Wayne.  Nice place.  
So for now...I am here packing...if anyone wants me...haha.   Can't wait to see everyone...and see Fort Wayne again.    We will REALLY REALLY miss our family here...It has been a huge blessing to be here!

In the meantime, I hope I don't pack Penelope accidently...she will be riding with us!  I would miss her if she wasn't there to take when we left...but the truck is leaving before we are...guess I had better double check before they leave.  haha.
