And So It Begins...

The beginning of the end.  Or, to be less melodramatic, the beginning of the transition into the next chapter of our lives.

I taught my last Sunday school class today.  I have packed 11 boxes (out of what, 100, or more?), and as I write this I should be packing the file cabinet or my closet.

Andrew and I drove Paul to the airport yesterday morning.  He flew to Kansas City to help his brother's family move.  He's driving a big U-Haul towing a car from Kansas City to Hartford, stopping in Pittsburgh to see us Monday night because it's right on his way.  Then he'll take a train from Hartford to NYC and maybe, hopefully have an interview or two in New York, then fly back to Pittsburgh.  We'll then go for a weekend trip down to DC just for the heck of it because we may not be back to the east coast for a while.  Then next Monday Andrew and I will fly to Fayetteville, AR.  Paul will stay behind to finish packing the house and load everything into a POD.  Then he'll drive our car to Fayetteville.  After visiting Lindsey and Doug for a while Andrew and I will fly and Paul will drive to Vancouver. 

Whew.
