An almost empty house

Yesterday was a big day for us.  The movers came yesterday and packed all of our things that are going to Saudi.  There isn't much left now except for the furniture.  The house looks really bare with nothing on the walls and none of the little things all over the place.  We have a lot of stuff, it took the movers all day to pack it all up and haul it out.  The next round is on Monday, and they shouldn't take too long at all, there is mostly furniture left, with a few books and a box of sweaters.  

The house is still showing, we had someone come by yesterday in the middle of the move to look around, two more showing today and one scheduled for tomorrow.  We are hopeful that all this volume will produce an offer on the house.  

Our current plans are to head out of Monday if all goes well with the movers.  Greg is leaving on Friday, and he is excited to get over there and see what it is like.  

Now the time has come to ... organize!

We have finally heard from the moving company.  Our movers to take the stuff to Saudi are coming on Friday, and the movers to take our furniture to New Hampshire come on Monday.  It is good to finally know, but know I am looking at all the things that I need to separate and get ready.  We have two different shipments, this shouldn't be too hard to separate the different items going to the different places.  Almost all the furniture will be going to storage, a few books, we need to make sure all the Christmas stuff goes to the east coast, along with any Christian items that we are attached to.  The rest goes to Saudi, except for clothes and toys that Lily needs for the few months that we will be in Texas and awaiting the shipment in Saudi.  This will be a little hard because she is at a stage where she is growing out of one size and into another.  Plus I need to have colder weather clothes for texas still, obviously not freezing temps but still.  And warmer weather clothes for Saudi, as it is always hot there.  The same goes for me and my clothes, plus I want to be at a growing out of point with my clothes too, which I am not, and I guess if my clothes get too big in Texas from the workouts I plan to do then I can always go shopping!  I also need to keep a few items separate that go to my Mums house to live, like my live plants and a few of my sisters items that have been living here with me.  

Greg is ready to go, his departure date is January 6th.  He went to the doctors yesterday and got 7 shots, his arms are a bit sore.  They also took lots of blood, I am not looking forward to having to do any of that.  He will be around for the movers, and then he will help drive Lily and I down to Texas, then he will be gone.  

Our house is still on the market, but we haven't had anyone through in a few days.  This is okay, because we are down to one car, and it is too cold outside to take a walk if someone comes and we are still here.  The cold weather and the snow is why people aren't out looking, or so I think.  

Well I believe that is a thorough update.  Talk at you later.
