Things are a little crazy at the Box house these days! Our move is scheduled for Wednesday morning with All Tex Movers. I’ve never used them before, but they got good reviews from various customers and the BBB, so I’m giving them a try. I was very disappointed with the only other movers we’ve hired, so I’m a bit uneasy about these guys. I’ll post a review after we’re done. So far I’m impressed.

With that deadline in mind, we are furiously trying to pack up the apartment while also doing some of our final CARES events, babysitting, working at SWA, and working on the house. Here are some highlights:

CARES – Unfortunately, it has been decided that we will be the last CARES team at our property. We are disappointed since we’d hoped another team could pick up where we will leave off, but God can work all things together for the good for those who love Him. Instead of a new team, the staff will be taking over event duties, so the residents will still have fun stuff to attend. We have a lasagna dinner Friday night and a pie event on Sunday afternoon. After that, only our goodbye pizza party will remain.

House – Due to illness and busyness, we haven’t been out to the house for the last couple of days. We have swapped out the outdoor lights in front and finished painting the kitchen a pretty blue-gray color. Jenny’s dad plans to come up on Sunday to continue working on our cabinets. I ordered a DIY wireless alarm system made by Honeywell that I’m really excited about. It should arrive soon.

Packing – Jenny has worked hard and packed up tons of stuff. Some of it is already over at the house, but much remains. Since we’re paying the movers by the hour, we’re trying to get as much of it boxed up and stacked in the garage so it won’t take so long for them to load into their truck.

Next week you probably won’t hear much from me on here. Our new Internet connection won’t be set up until next Friday, and we’ll be busy packing and unpacking most of the week. Perhaps I can sneak in an update or some pictures if I have time.
