The countdown is on!

We are leaving Michigan exactly 2 weeks from today. Here's the update for those that care...My kitchen table/desk is gone and in storage along with almost everything else we won't need within the next year or so. The walls are bare and the house now echos. I have taken so many trips to the Salvation Army they know me by name, and the garbage men will soon start avoiding our street altogether. We found THE most perfect renters. A couple with 2 young children. The parents are both black belts in karate. He owns a karate school and she is a professional fighter. Wow. I know. Both kids also compete in martial arts. I'm bummed that I won't be here to get to know them more, cause I sure would like to! They also are interested in possibly buying the house after the year lease is up. Oh yeah- and they move in the day after we move out. How great is that? Pretty great! I was in Wal-Mart this morning and noticed they had fall decor all around the store. I checked the weather, and yep-it's still 94 degrees in Houston. I guess I won't need my sweater box out of storage quite yet. That's about it for now...check back later.

Robin, we're so bummed that you're moving! Let me know what I can help with. Packing up is never easy, but 8 years worth... YIKES!

Wow -- things are really coming together for you. Makes me think that this is exactly what you need to do for you and your little family. You will definitely be missed in MI -- what will the ward do without you?

I'm glad that things are all falling into place. It sounds like you are so busy. Good luck with everything in TX. I've heard great things about Houston! You deserve the best.

Oh my goodness, Robyn!
I am so excited for you guys! It will be so great living near your mom. My folks LOVED Houston when they lived there. I am happy for you guys! Can't wait to hear how the move goes. I am sure you will be missed in Michigan. :(
