Lots of boxes, packing crew & large truck

At 8:30 this morning that all showed up at our front door ready to take on the day. Three guys are packing our house up now getting it all ready for the moving truck and new crew to load it all up tomorrow. They are busy working and packing while Claire and I are trying to stay out of their way. Gabby keeps pacing and following them around watching and Claire keeps trying to share her toys with them and saying "hey" every 2 seconds like they just walked in!

I got the lease signed at the apartment yesterday and got several loads unpacked over there while a friend kept Claire all afternoon. It was very hot and lots of work, but it's all ready for us to officially "move in" tomorrow. It will be an adjustment for us all, but it's temporary and will keep us in CLT for 7 more weeks. We are really excited about that and have several fun play dates and "adult" dates already on the calendar.

So this weekend we will finish carrying out the last of our stuff and say goodbye to what has been our home for the last 5 1/2 years. Lots of good times, hard times and wonderful memories! But what is left are only 4 walls and a roof; all the special and important things are coming with us.

We are excited to head to Knoxville next weekend to celebrate the 4th as well as look for a new house. We are hoping to get lucky and find the area, neighborhood and home that will fit us perfectly. We are going with an open mind and a positive outlook that God will direct us to where that is. Keep us in your thoughts and send us up some luck!

Well, back to the boxes....stay tuned for more updates and pictures from over the weekend!
