The Final Countdown

HERE WE COME!

39 days until the BIG MOVE! This week marks our last official week of work in United States. Then, after a series of cross-country excursions (Massachusetts, North Carolina, Texas, California, Texas, North Carolina, Washington D.C., North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, Florida...in that order...and those are only the trips the Bice's are taking together) we will depart for our much anticipated relocation to Honduras.

We spent the past five days selling off our furniture (by Tuesday afternoon we started a buy two items, get one free policy), boxing stuff for goodwill, trashing lots of junk, and sending whatever was left in a trailer bound for Ohio. During that whole process, it became evident how stressful 'stuff' really is! There is a sense of freedom that comes with getting rid of things. At least for now...until I reach for something I need and realize the family two doors down now own it. Oh well! All the big stuff is gone, now it is just a matter of collecting the few things we have left laying around and preparing them for the road trip ahead.

We are sleep deprived and a little stressed, but have one more thing checked off the to do list! Thanks to all of you who helped us!
