That time has finally come! YEAH! The packers have arrived. They will be here for about 3 days packing. On day four they are to load everything into the crates and take our stuff onward to the great Pacific Northwest!

I always shoo them away from the computer for at least the first day and most of the second. I like it to be one of the last things they pack up! That way I can hold off internet withdrawal for as long as possible! Ha!

I really do enjoy having someone else come and pack my things up. We have moved ourselves plenty of times to be able to appreciate NOT having to do all that work. We simply keep an eye on everyone and make sure fragile things and important things are wrapped and packed properly. We always provide a cooler full of drinks, snacks, and pizza for lunch. The packers seem to work better and do more of the specialty packing without complaint if you treat them well!

Here we go...boxes and tape galore! Pray for us today! It looks to be a busy but wonderful day!
