Phase 1 of (pre)Moving Done

This morning two men from the moving company came to estimate the size of our shipment. This means Andrey and I had to have gone through everything we own and decide what we're keeping, what we're getting rid of, and what we're taking on a plane with us in 1-2 weeks. This job was a bit stressful since I just got back from the border on Monday. But now that it's done I feel a sense of relief albeit temporary. We now have both guest rooms almost completely full of stuff we are getting rid of. We've put our truck up for sale. We're hoping it will sell soon.

Tonight we will go to the last high school bible study that we've been leading/chaperoning for the past two years. We haven't really been involved the past few months since we haven't been here but it will be good to go and hang out with the kids one more time.

The movers come next Tuesday to pack up and send our things which hopefully will arrive at their destination within two months. We're housesitting for the first year so we won't need most of our things anyway. Between now and next week we plan to spend time with most of our friends and hopefully will have sold lots of stuff at the huge community yard sale that is taking place this weekend at an international school. Andrey is leaving a week before me so he is out of here the day after the movers come (next Wednesday). It's all happening so fast! I only have two more weeks with my sweet kitty Starla who will be moving as well to a new home. Our landlord's mother will be taking her in. I have been enjoying every moment with her these days. sniff sniff.
