Adventures in Moving

That was once UHaul's slogan, "Adventures in Moving." Frankly, Marie and I have had more than one of their lovely adventures since we met. The "best" was having a water pump blow in the middle of Illinois on the first day of deer season. Getting help was as hard as getting a twelve-point buck.

So, Marie and I are getting ready to move. We're moving to Marshall, Texas as soon as Grace Presbytery, real estate hurdles, and UHaul can get us there. And we couldn't be happier. We also couldn't be more amazed.

Please prepare to nod your head as you read: You wouldn't believe all of the crap we've found! It has been a sheer multitude of stuff we didn't know we had, didn't know where it had gone, and wondered how we ever lived with it in the first place.

Honestly, it is our fault. We haven't had a real honest pitch-fest since we moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas about twelve years ago. At least it has been a windfall to some of the absolutely fabulous charities here in Berryville. As such, it has also been a windfall for the landfill, but after twelve years or so, a trip or two to the dump is not out of line.

So things are rolling here, we are blessed and happy, we are glad to be on our way to Marshall and God's people at First Presbyterian in Marshall. All we need now is a dolly and some Advil, but that's just another part of the "Adventure in Moving."
