Wendy and I are in the home stretch. Moving day is this Saturday, February 28th, and the next three days are packed (pun absolutely intended) with scheduled details. There’s the wrapping up the finish work on the new house while trying to figure out how to get everything ready for the load out. Appliances we’re keeping have already been moved and we’re living out of boxes and suitcases for the next few days.

The process has been more challenging than we would have wished. Wendy has been suffering from a nasty virus/cold/flu that struck her a week and a half ago. I’ve never seen her so sick and she spent most of last week on her back. She’s still far from 100% but is back on her feet and gutting it out.

We’re excited, but the excitement is tempered by the sheer number of details that must come together while keeping one eye on the weather forecast (WHY, exactly, are we moving in February in Iowa?).

Here we go.
