"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences. "

The work has only just begun...

After loading up all of our earthly possessions,Saying good-bye to great friends (sigh), Traveling late into the nightand unloading said possessions, the work had only just begun.

First we had to emptied the house of all the things that had been left behind (still working on that one, actually) and stripped the hideous wall paper with our awesome steaming skills.Cleaned up the huge wallpaper mess. Yes, he's raking the shag...in an attempt to free it from all the wall paper goo. Painted over very poor paint choices.Discovered many "quirks" and are busy working on putting the house back together.
Stay tune for the before and after pictures once I get things unpacked.

Sending a big THANK YOU to all the friends and family that have helped with this adventure. We truly appreciate everyone's willingness to help and are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives.

Moving is always a chore, but looks like you had your work cut out for you with that wallpaper.
