Eric went to transportation and housing today. Movers come on the 22nd to pack, come back on the 23rd to actually move. We'll have a barest of necessities in the house that night. Pick up a U-Haul on the 24th. Pack it up on the 25th, turn over the keys to housing that day. Spend the night in a hotel, then have the farewell on the 26th and head east.
We'll be roughing it for a couple of days. Now the thougtht of moving is really starting to hit home. We went to Norman last weekend to see family and see a football game. It was a really good visit, but it just underscores what we will be without for the next 3 to 4 years. Our parents are getting older. This past year Eric lost his favorite cousin, who was only a year older than he was. We've had losses this year, and we can reasonably anticipate losing a parent within the next 5-10 years, or at least for them to become more frail. That's very hard to deal with when you can't be there with them. I'm still looking forward to the move, but I get very maudlin thinking about leaving my family.
