Packing part 2

Update...we got so much done this weekend! Not only did we get the storage unit re-packed to put more in but we got quite a bit packed at the apartment and moved to storage.

After Church yesterday, we had a nice lunch as it was the annual Thanksgiving potluck for all. Then we came home to hit it hard for a few hours before having to return to Aurora so Ben could be in school today. Beth and I had started working when David and James arrived with news that our friends, Burt and Lorna, were right behind them to help. Once they arrived things just went fast and furious.

We got the china hutch completely emptyied and moved to storage, the cabinet in the bathroom, the video cabinet packed and moved, and quite a bit of the kitchen stuff that won't be needed for a while. We got so many boxes packed and moved that the apartment is looking quite bare. What a feeling of accomplishment! Thanks so much to Burt and Lorna, if they had not been there with their vehicle we wouldn't have moved as much as we did.

It is back to Aurora for two weeks now to continue the job search, then on December 5th or 6th we will be going back down to pack and move more. We are giving our notice to our landlord on December 1st so we will have to be out in 30 days. Things are looking up, Ben is very happy at school and is happy to be out of all the drama at THS. Of course he misses his friends and would love to be able to graduate with them but he is tried of the history that follows him. A fresh start for him and for us is looking like a good thing. Brother Dave said yesterday that I looked more rested than I had in several months. I really appreciated that.

More later until then God Bless Everyone!
