The only way to prepare for our "new" life is to purge that of the "old" life we don't need or want anymore. We held a garage sale today and I watched as piece by piece little sections of our life here walked away.

Yesterday a surveyor from the moving company walked through our house to estimate what would be shipped and what would be placed in long term storage. And now that the stuff we're definitely not taking with us from this house, it's time to buckle down and pack. Perhaps this evening I'll start packing some stuff from our basement...
