Our progress on the move has been fairly slow the last few weeks. David was out of the country for a month, and I went home to visit family. But we're both back now, and David is on leave all next week so it's time to get cracking. We've planned our yard sale for October 9th, and next week will be devoted to getting things sorted and priced for that. Once all of the yard sale items are out of the house, it'll be easier to see what we're working with. We've pretty much decided not to take any of our furniture. We'll be taking our mattresses, but not the frame, a computer hutch, desk chair, and bookshelf. For everything else we'll be using the government provided furnishing.
Our friends who are moving with us left yesterday to spend a month with family up north. They'll be headed to Japan in October! We're going to miss them for the next 3 months until we get there. But it does make us realize that we are getting closer too, and still have a lot more to do.
We've also been playing around with the idea of spending a week in Seattle. When familes PCS to Okinawa, they fly to either California or Seattle and wait or a MAC (Military Space Available) flight out. If we fly through Seattle, we're thinking about flying out there 3 or 4 days before we fly to Japan and doing a mini-vacation. Neither of us has ever been to Washington, so we'd like to do a little site seeing while we're there. Plus, in January they'll probably be snow, which we don't see much of around here and we definietly won't see in Okinawa, so that will be a lot of fun!
Y'all take care!
