transitions

It has begun.  Another transition.  Once again, we are putting our things into boxes.  Sorting, selling, donating, packing.  Purging and cleaning.  Organizing and labeling.  It feels good to know this is the last time I will do this for a long, long time.  My packing goal: everything I put into a box will have a place in our new home...each object will either be useful or will make our home beautiful or perhaps will do both.  But, for the next couple of months, all of these useful and beautiful objects will be stored while we head out on an adventure.

The van will be packed with only our essentials.  Nothing more.  Climbing shoes, camp chairs, festival tickets, rain jackets, bathing suits, sunscreen, food, and the four of us.  Summer vacation will take us to California for a family reunion.  Following that, we have no real plan.  We have at least 8 weeks to wander.  No school, no work, no appointments.  No place we need to be and nothing we have to do.  I can't wait! 

Ahhhh...summer.  It's almost here.
