The Chaos Has Begun!

We leave in just over a week and we feel the time crunch! It is very difficult not to get in there and start packing. We aren't supposed to pack anything because the relocation company has to inventory everything and pack it themselves since they are responsible. We are in the process of splitting the house up into "ship" and "store" categories. Then we have to go a step further and say "sea shipment" and "air shipment". The relocation company is coming in on Wednesday to start and I have not a clue of what to do.

We haven't heard about our house in Japan yet. We are hoping to hear something before the end of the week. The relocation company has to have an address in order to ship our things and we don't have that yet. At this point...we are "homeless". We told the couple that is already over there, the Clarks, that we were just going to come live with them.

Our flight leaves out of Nashville at 10:20am on Sept 25th. We fly into Detroit and then leave Detroit at around 2:00 to head to Tokyo. Anyone is welcome to come see us off, however, we ask that all heavy tears be held until we have passed through the gates. Not for Curtis and my sakes, but for Avery's. We just don't think she will understand all the tears and it may make her afraid. We would rather people see us arrive back home when our trip is done.

We welcome anyone to come visit, but know that plane tickets are very expensive. So don't get sticker shock!

We will keep you posted!
