The official countdown is beginning! We will depart on February 2nd with two kids, two cats, two strollers, two carseats, a guitar, a pack n play, eight suitcases and likely three boxes in tow. The movers arrive on Monday to pack our belongings for shipping/storage. It's scheduled for three days. Hopefully we'll have everything ready by then. We'll give away everything that falls outside that category.

We are also getting a lot of home projects done. We now have a two garage doors instead of one, the mirrors are off our family room's wall, and our house's exterior will be painted next week! All the weekend projects that we put off are getting done!

Completely not germane to living in Holland, but germane to living in the Valley - did you know that La Grande Orange now has drive-up service? Hooray! No more waiting for a space!
