So here it is. I have been sick for the last three months. We have also been packing for the last three months, between the bouts of illness. I have been sure that I had plenty of time to get everything done. And I did, before the Dread Gumboo hit. Now as I hack into my handkerchief I do the math and discover a very sobering fact. I have less than two months to get everything done for this move. Fifty eight days until we arrive in Denton. Which means fifty four days until we pack everything into a relo-cubes, clean the carpet, and drive to Moab for the first leg of the journey. Then on to Santa Fe for some historic site seeing. Then a quick night in Amarillo before we arrive in Denton just in time for lunch:)
So in my panic I finalized bed and breakfast plans; in this way I assure that we at least have a bed to sleep in each night of the trip for less than $70. We will stay with my good friend Nola in Moab on Wednesday; on Thursday we will stay at Casa del Sol in Santa Fe, and on Friday we are parking at the Fifth Seasons Inn in Amarillo. Then on to Chris and Kelly's in Denton. Doug and I are excited for the move, finally. However, there is a lot to do between then and now. So if I fall off the edge of the blog... it is cuz I am a packing fiend. And a grading maniac. I am on my students second set of papers, and I have another two after these. Here's to red pens and packing tape.

If you get really lost, there is always a bed for you at my house! And I would LOVE to see you!
Only 1 hour away from Kirtland and Lots of lovely historical sites. Plus Johnny Appleseed lived here longer than any other place in his life--and the only tree he actually planted that is still alive is about 5 miles from my house.
But, as I said, you would be VERY lost.
I'm so glad for you guys! I know how you have been wanting to do this for awhile now, and it is finally happening! What is the new job? Details, girl, details! Do both of you have new jobs? Have you started looking at real estate already? Can't wait to hear about everything else that comes with this! Just don't forget about all of us slobs you left behind in Utah? All our love!!!!
