The last few days have been busy with preparations for our upcoming move. On Friday the moving company came and took some stuff that will get to Alaska about two weeks after we do. We sent things that will come in handy if by that time we have a house. We’ve cleaned out the fridge, taken all of the stuff off the walls, and finally finished packing our suitcases! Today the movers are coming to pack up everything in our house and tomorrow they will be back to put it on the truck and haul it away. We’ve made our hotel reservations, three nights at the post hotel and two nights at a hotel in Dallas. Living out of a suitcase for who knows how long! Isn’t that exciting! Wednesday we’re having our bedroom carpets cleaned and our final housing inspection. Thursday we’ll be on our way to Dallas, stopping at Outdoor World to find adult waterproof gloves, since we’ve been to every store in this town and not one pair to be found. We did succeed in finding a pair for Monkey, at least her little hands won’t get frostbit! Arriving in Alaska in 20 degree weather with no gloves just doesn’t seem like a very good idea. Friday we’ll turn in the truck for shipping, I’m so looking forward to being without a car for a month! And then Saturday, the big day, flying out from Dallas to our new home! We’ve made reservations at the hotel on our new base too so we’ll have a place to stay until we get a house, please pray that we get a house soon and we get one on post! So I guess that’s about it. I’ve been dreading this move for so long, worrying and anticipating every little detail, and now that it’s so close, I’m ready to go and start this new adventure in our lives!
