Just a quick entry to let you know the movers have been busy bees. The air shipment went last Wednesday, then on Thursday and Friday the Household goods were packed and put in six large wooden crates to hauled across the states by truck, across the Atlantic ocean by cargo ship and then trucked to Germany. It was really interesting to watch those guys load the crates like they were fitting puzzle pieces together! We will see it all again in reverse in about two months. Today the storage movers are here packing what's left and then our home will be truly empty. 
Yesterday was our last Sunday at church, this morning I had my last BFF breakfast with the girls at Rembrandt's and Travis has only a few days left at school. We look forward to spending this week with our family and friends. My parents have been here visiting. It was so good to have that time with them. Leaving the kids and grandkiddies is so hard! Also, I don't believe we will get to see Scott and Cade and give them hugs before we leave. Just typing that makes me cry! Before the movers walk in and see me with tears running down my face, let me move on to something not so depressing.Good news about our dog, Max. Pat and Donna offered to let him come live at their place and hang out with their dog, Rooster. We weren't to sure about that. Max is almost twelve and has never "played well with others". We were sure that there would be an all out dog war with snarling, gnashing teeth, fur flying and even some blood involved. Our other choice was to have our faithful little companion put to sleep. On Thursday we told T.J. to say good-bye before he went to school. He loves that dog and they have been best buds since T.J. was three. We didn't know what would end up happening but a decision would have to be made that day.
Thank you Pat, Donna, and Rooster for making this part of our move have a much happier ending than the one we were dreading!
Our next blog entry will be from Germany...love to you all,
Corri
