We are so lucky to have the military pay to have all of our stuff packed and moved to England. The only thing I had to worry about was de-junking, cleaning, and organizing everything to it's right and proper spot. It's funny how I can hold on to something for the entire 4 years we lived here and in one split second say "throw it out, it's garbage!" After long hours of cleaning and many trips to the base dump, and recycling bins we were ready for the movers. Our bathrooms were the no pack zones, everything we wanted to keep was tossed in there, and I mean tossed. I would go from room to room and see something new that I just had to keep. Now I look at all the KEEP stuff and wonder if was worth the effort. We are driving ourselves from Germany to England and I seem to think I can pack the world with me. The stuff was packed and loaded in one day, these 3 guys worked fast. They took apart anything that had screws, things that I have no idea how to put back together. Good thing that assembly comes with the moving package. In the end we had 6 crates, loaded like a game of Tetris
The sound of tape being pulled across a box and cut is a sound that I don't want to hear for a long time. It's loud and obnoxious. This picture was only about an hour in and only from the loft.
A friend took Ava for the day so we could concentrate on watching the packers. So when she got home there was only the "loaned" furniture in the house. I thought she might be sad but instead she ran around the house saying "Wee, wee!" It was hilarious.

She is too stinkin cute! How old is she now?
Good luck with the moving when do you all leave Germany and head for England?
Take Care of yourselves! You are all in our thoughts and prayers!
Ava is 2 in a couple of weeks. We leave on the 9 and I hope we can cross the border. It turns out that moving our PCS date messed things up a bit. Our Visa's say we are crossing on the 20 but we want to cross on the 10th. I guess our fate is all up to the guy on duty that day.
