Look What I Found! The cousins!!!

Our new home---Madison, South Dakota

We are so happy that we are now officially residents of South Dakota!!! We spent a couple nights in Madison and Sioux Falls and now officially have driver's licenses and the whole bit --even a mailing address! Things are moving right along and we are getting excited about going to live in Australia. I am trying to get all of our accounts organized, make sure we have online billing for everything and am going to start the long process of changing addresses, etc. Seems like I just did this!!!
Chris is winding down his days at Graham and is training his "replacement" though no one can ever replace him!!! We are sorting through our clothing one more time, making piles of things to give to Goodwill, things to lock up in the house here, things to send to Ohio to leave, things to take on the plane and things to ship to Australia! Whew! It makes my head spin but I think we will make it. I work best under pressure so I think this week I will make a lot of headway on what needs to be done. We got through the garage sale in great shape and I had plenty of time to get ready for that so I think we will be just fine.

So that is what is going on here--right now it is pouring down rain, Chris is watching the race and I have two kitties sound asleep next to me on the bed while I type! Life is good!

The garage sale is coming!

Where oh where does all this stuff come from?? I have a theory that it multiplies during the night when I sleep but we surely have a lot of stuff to get rid of before this grand adventure begins! The garage sale is set for Saturday and I will be oh so glad to have that day come and go. It has really not been difficult to part with things but then I am not getting rid of my teapots, longaberger baskets and some of my books! Those are all getting packed up.
I am looking forward to a much simpler life with less "things". We will see how that goes!!! And also looking forward to picking out brand new things for our new home---whatever that will be! Life is so interesting lately! But God is so good!!!!
