And The Adventure Begins

We have loaded the Uhaul, unloaded the Uhaul and reloaded the Relocubes! It has been a long week of packing all of our stuff and trying to make it all fit strategically into each different mode of transportation. After a long, somewhat rainy day, on Friday, we are all packed up and ready for our Relocubes to be shipped off to California! Wes Baker and my sister Emily were a big help on Friday when we were trying to fit everything into two Relocubes rather than the three that were provided so that we could save about $1000. Thanks guys again for you help we could not have done it without you for real!

So everyone has been asking me how I feel about this big move and right now I don't really "feel" anything! I am sad to be leaving my family and friends but I am also really excited for William's opportunity in California and for the many adventures that we will be able to have being in such a neat place. I haven't really had a good cry yet about leaving so I am just waiting for that to happen. I have pretty much figured that once we are gone from Memphis for good and we get to California and I realize that this move is for good and it's not just another vacation that it will finally hit me. Right now though, either I'm in denial or am just so worn out that I don't even know what to feel. I'll keep you updated on when the actual breakdown comes though! God has blessed us with this opportunity and I am excited to see what he has in store for our lives as we "leave and cleave" to the extreme!
Here are some pictures of the relocubes and all the stinking packing that we had to go through! My advice...hire movers!
