Just A Few Days Left

In just a few short days Addie will be leaving JC, and as excited as we are about our upcoming move, we are sad that our captain will be away for a few months. As you can imagine our brains are on system overload right now.  Not only is Addie finishing up her two classes for this session of school, we have taxes to prepare, kids to take care of, work to be done on the house, as many farewells to friends and family as we can fit in, all while trying to figure out the logistics of our impending move come May.

We have already started purging, finding anything we may want to sell and putting it on the Facebook swap shop, eBay, and Craigslist. I have been working feverishly on the house while Addie has been packing up everything she can and trying to fit it in her suit case. Thankfully, here in the next few weeks our kitchen floors will be redone, new siding on the back porch and new steps out front. Not really looking forward to these costly repairs but they are much needed. I hope to have the house listed middle of April but I'm not so sure if there is going to be enough time to get all this done by then....


Anyone know where I can find one of these bad boys? 

While I am a little pessimistic that the house will sell in a timely manner it looks like we will be keeping most of our belongings at the house.  Some how we will need to get our most important items like our bikes(6 total), camping/adventure racing gear, kayak, fishing equipment, game systems, clothing, shoes (yes I am a shoe whore) and our dogs, you know the necessities in life. And mostly in that order.

It turns out renting a small box truck is going to cost a small fortune, $1300-$1400 plus gas. (And that's just to get us out there with the gear mentioned above. Once the house sells we will have to fly back and rent another.) So if anyone has a enclosed trailer, and or a lot of cash we need to talk. 
Maybe lady luck will be on our side and we will sell the house and only have to make one real trip out. Or maybe we just sell most of our crap here and buy all new out here? What do you think?


We plan on selling the Pathfinder, but by looking at this picture, we may end up changing our minds!

I think Addie is a little overwhelmed right now. So whether you post on here or on her Facebook I am sure she would love to hear from you and any support would be awesome!
