The Beginning of the Crazy

This last week and a half or so has been a whirlwind. We have so much to do to get ready for our move and when we are not making preparations we are trying to make sure Merrick still has a normal, fun, and active life. Here are a few of the highlights since my last post (not necessarily in the order they happened, but in the order I remember)

*We went to Garret's high school graduation


*Jeremy took a day off work and we had a nice 4 day weekend together as a family.

*We paid our second and final deposit to Lewis and Clark (and let the deadline for the deposit to Willamette pass).

*We took several trips to see the cows at the farm outside our neighborhood and just as many trips to the park down the street.

*We cleaned out and sold the majority of our books and DVDs to get ready for the move. We ended up getting a whopping $27 for all of it and Jeremy said it made him feel like a meth head to sell all of his possessions for next to nothing.

*We got our first set of moving boxes.

*We went to the Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center. Merrick had a blast, but I had to nurse a sunburn on the top of my head for several days afterwards.



*I applied for a part-time job at a school in Portland.

I know this is just the beginning of the craziness. There is so much to do before we leave I think we should just hold on tight and prepare for the ride.
