Moving Day

The top five things I have learned about moving to Sumatra:
1. Do not let your cat out the day before a move because they might get stuck in a tree.
2. Do not chew a hard, sticky caramel the day before pack up because you might pop off a crown and have to take your four year old to the dentist with you.
3. Do not expect a restful night of sleep because you will pop up wide awake and remember things like rolling pins at 2:30 am.
4. Do not volunteer your husband to be a camp counselor the week of a move and definitely not to a place where there is no cell reception.
5. Allow others to help you because you can not do it all yourself. I have some amazing friends and family! We would not have been able to get through this week without you. Thank you!

omigosh--and you still found time to make a movie--amazing! Thanks for taking the time to share, I think I can handle watching--actually doing it? not so much!

Jeez, Louise! It's hard enough to leave town for 2 weeks. I can't even consider actually moving out of th e country.
