Today is the day that the movers come to get our stuff, and boy, do we have alot of it!!! I'm always really nervous about the Movers reaction to all of our things. Their eyes are like a deer caught in headlights! I fear that they will just turn around, get in the truck, and drive away. Why is moving so stressful? I mean, I'm not doing any of the work. I get to be "Supervisor" for the day! The "Boss". I still just get so nervous and stressed out. Even though all experiences I've had with Movers, from ex cons to "starving students", have been positive. And we've moved many times! I get a huge feeling of relief as they pull away with a truck full though! Maybe someone is trying to tell me that I can live without so many material possessions? That one is hard for me to digest. I'm so wrapped up in having my "things", yet I feel so much better when they are gone. There's a sense of Freedom! Less to worry about! Don't get me wrong, I know that Dwain, Addison, Juna and Lola are the ABSOLUTE most important!!!! As long as I have them, Life is Good!!!

I'd say you're doing pretty well living without ALL those material things. I mean, you ARE living without your X5 and all :)
Can't wait to see you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hiya "Bossman", LOVE the pics! Addison is so cute and Dane said, "love her cocoa puffs do!" I know what you mean about stuff. I need my comforts but am trying not to be too attached. Your family IS all you truly need.... xoxoxo
Oh Gary,
Imagine 13 years ago Gordon and I sold, threw away or gave away almost all our possession and spent the next 13 years in a motorhome traveling around the country. It has been the most wonderful time of our lives. The only things we kept were photo albums and legal papers. Yes, it is was wonderful to have so little for so long. So how did we get back here with all this stuff? Things are not that important but once we have them and there paid for we want to keep them. I guess! I cannot wait to be FREE again traveling around, even seeing your Mom how awesome is that?
SEE YOU IN 8 DAYS!!!!
Laura
