Well here it is one week from the trip of a lifetime. I (DH) am going to post a long blog tonight. DW & DH are sitting here in our living room (DORM ROOM, COLLEGE STYLE, NO FURNITURE) deprived of sleep. Yesterday, we tore down our bed and anything larger than a box & decided that a couple of sleeping bags would work just fine for us on our hardwood floors. We have both decided that we will NEVER think that option again. Hardwood floors to sleep on as mature adults is NEVER an option anyone should consider. DW currently is going through another tub of photos she has collected over the years. She used to work for a photography place so she had doubles of every photo she had taken for 9+ years. She has made great progress in sorting out her photos as she has emptied yet another tub. Yesterday, DW's family arrived at our house around 10:00 A.M. They came from Pillager MN, Savage MN, & Owatonna MN. DW's Mother and Boyfriend (Mike) were here as well. Our friends Shari & Dale showed up also. Everyone stepped up to the plate to help & we basically emptied everything from our home in about 12 hours. The dogs are feeling the stress of the move because they are so confused. We both feel so sorry for them because we can't communicate what it is that's happening. Here is a photo of Phoebe sitting in Muncie's dog basket, she looks so sad!
The last few days have been very emotional for DW & DH! DW's family left late this afternoon & we've realized that this next week will tear us down emotionally! We are taking things in stride however, knowing that our friends and family will always be there for us. With all things happening, we are struggling with another aspect of things - Co-workers, friends, & neighbors. We know feelings, emotions, thoughts, memories, and so many things we can't describe makes our move so much harder for everyone. We do know that we, DW & DH, will succeed & push ourselves to better our lives as we have been taught from our parents. We love all of our friends and family members more than you know!!!! Below are some photo's showing what happened in the last few day's.
We will be posting more photo's of the house and trailer later in the week. DH & DW are exhausted and we are struggling with finding the energy to keep going. We have no doubts we will finish, but it's difficult to say the least. Stay tuned!! We are off to bed!

Oh, how empty and lonely your house looks today. I am still in denial that you actually have left and am waiting for the Envoy to pull up in the driveway, to hear music coming from the garage and the dogs bark. yikes. I am also anxious for you as you are traveling and my hear sunk as I heard about the Envoys fan clutch/clutch fan (whatever!) going bad. What a joy however, to hear that angels descended upon you and had it fixed in no time. No better place to have it go out than a big city with repair shops close at hand! Looking foward to hearing more updates as the day goes on tomorrow. Take care my friends, my bestest neighbors (sniff..). Give the dogs a hug from me!
