A Bit of a Break

 Last weekend my friend and coworker, Sue offered to come and help me pack. I warned her that it would be scary and that she shouldn't tell anyone at work how bad it really was, but I jumped at the chance to have her help me. Once we realized that we were actually building a house and that we weren't going to be living in this one any longer, we kinda let it go....I mean really.

And I tend to keep lots of things. I noticed that every time Sue would ask me if I wanted to keep something, I'd say yeah, and she'd roll her eyes. So I walked away. In the time she was here, we through away 4 big garbage bags and packed and moved several boxes out to the garage. Hooray!!!! It does feel good, but there is so much more to do. We haven't moved in 12 years and I am kind of out of the habit. When we were first married, we moved several times in that first 2 years and it wasn't so bad. Well, 3 kids and a lot of stuff later and we're moving again.Wow! I will say that I was trying to get ahead and pack some things early. Al also spent a day out in the garage packing. I bet we've opened every box to get something already!!!!

After we'd spent 4 hours or so packing, we ordered out supper and went 4-wheelin' at the farm! Casey was attached to Sue at the hip! What a fun packing and playing day! I really needed the help, but I probably needed the break more! Thanks Sue!
