Today is also my last day of scheduled work!! I am so excited that next week I don't have to come into work if I don't wish too and also that I can leave when I feel like leaving if I so desire!!

Well we are in NC dropping off the critters to MIL's house today and staying over the weekend so that we don't have to yet deal with the emptiness of the house!!

EVERYTHING IS DONE . . well as far as the house is concerned. All that is left in the house is an air mattress, clothing, Mimic and his stuff, appliances (which are staying with the house), and a few pots and pans to cook with. It seemed so wierd walking into an empty house that echoes your every footstep!!

Well I just finished with a phone call informing me that all but the master bedroom and other major furniture is all boxed up and ready to be put on a truck and shipped to Hawaii!! I am so excited by that!! J told me that they were going through the house really quickly and given that it is only 3pm now and they started at 9am. . I would definitely have to agree that they went through and got a lot done in a very short time span!!

Well today we are having the movers come out to the house and check to figure out how long it will take for them to get everything boxed up and into a truck and outta the house!! They will actually be doing this next week on the 22nd and 23rd and I am so nervous about it all right now because I just am not sure what to expect in all of this!

So next week will be the start of camping out in our own house. . how wierd is that!?
