Well, I wanted to get an entry in here before we have to shut things down Tuesday morning and I don't have a good shot at doing anything for at least several days. We picked up the rental truck today and the movers are coming first thing in the morning to load it up. Of course, since Dan & Stacy don't arrive until about 8 p.m., we'll have a long day of not much to do while we wait for them. Originally, the movers were to be here around 3:30 in the afternoon, which would've left us plenty of time during the day to pack the last few things up. With the change in plans they gave us today, Katy and I have been furiously packing everything so the movers can get at least 98% of it loaded in the 2 hours or so they'll be assisting.
We do have a few things we can get out of the house to do, fortunately. We have a number of items we'll be donating to Goodwill, and we need to run by the cable company to drop off the cable box and modem. Plus, then I need to bubble wrap the big TV and get it ready to load into the Jeep. Meals will be a bit of a challenge, and I know tomorrow night we'll head over to Odessa to hopefully eat at Chik-Fil-A one last time and then head to the mall for a bit to use some time before we have to head to the airport.
Once Dan & Stacy arrive, we're on the road, planning to stop about 1-1/2 to 2 hours east of here in Sweetwater for the night. This will give us a little bit of a leg up on the trip and keep us from hitting Oklahoma City during any part of the rush hour on Wednesday. We may hit it in Tulsa, but Tulsa is considerably smaller so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Please pray for us as we make this 1000-mile trek. It's not an intimidating trip at all, but it's time consuming and any time you are driving a larger moving truck, it adds a different element and slows you down a bit as well. Take care, everyone, and I'll update soon!
