A Week and a Half?!

The girls head out to Fort Wayne on July 22nd, that's next week Thursday already! Wow! This year has gone by so quickly, we can hardly believe it's almost over. With all the packing we've been doing lately, it's hard to enjoy the summer but it's too hot here anyway to be outside. Poor Norah has been such a trooper. I haven't gotten her to the park in about a week, and it's been a couple days since we went swimming too. Hopefully we can get the pool set up today since Tim is off. One of us can be out with Norah and the other can get some packing done in peace. That doesn't happen much! Of course, with all the boxes and piles of stuff everywhere the place looks and feels a little cluttered. I can't wait to have everything unpacked and put in its place again when we get to our new home. It will be so nice to have all the space, and a huge yard, and a big old garage to store stuff in! Here's what we have going on in the next 10 days:

Monday 12: Tim's last "day off," Tim's parents drive to Fort Wayne (so many people get to see our house before we do!)
Tuesday 13: Tim's last council meeting at Peace, Tim's parents fly to San Jose
Wednesday 14: Tim preaches up in Coarsegold
Thursday 15: Lady's Bible Study and potluck
Friday 16: We join Tim's parents in San Leandro, must be 90% done packing!
Saturday 17: Tim's Aunt's birthday party in San Leandro area
Sunday 18: Tim's last Sunday and reception
Monday 19: Yosemite one last time with Tim's parents
Tuesday 20: Last day to pack and get everything in order
Wednesday 21: Heading to Santa Cruz for the day, staying overnight in San Jose
Thursday 22: Girls leave from San Jose at 6:30 am
Friday 23: Boys pick up Josh from airport, drive back to Fresno, pick up trailer, load and leave

With all these trips, I'm not sure I can keep everything straight. I'm going to be doing a lot of packing and unpacking bags and suitcases and snack coolers. This whole move has been a logistical nightmare! It should be a real adventure when the 4 of us girls get to Fort Wayne on the 22nd and discover all sorts of things we don't have until the guys arrive late on the 25th. Thankfully, Tim's parents are stopping there before coming to CA so they're leaving towels, pillows, and sheets at our house. And we have some wonderful friends who promised to make sure we have things like toilet paper and bread when we arrive. Whew! It's going to be a whirlwind two weeks!
