Time Flies Like an Arrow; Fruit Flies Like a Banana

0 days left until we hit the road with all our stuff and start our new life out in St Catharines! It's crazy how time has gone by so quickly - it's been a busy two months since we bought our house on Victoria Day. We've started to do some serious packing - our storage room is organized into boxes, the books are off the shelves, anything hung on the walls is now packed, and the cupboards are getting emptier. Time is getting filled up with meetings with lawyers, insurance agents, bankers, and plumbers, and a long "to do" list seems to keep getting longer. Today is our last Sunday in Rehoboth - it feels weird to have people come up and say goodbye. Of course, we'll be back for visits every once in a while, but its strange to realize that contact from now on will be so limited! I was born and grew up in this congregation, and it's sad to leave. But of course, exciting to be moving to a new community, a new church, and a new city, meeting lots of new people and starting new jobs. But before all of that "new" stuff begins, we've got an exciting week ahead of us. Although we have felt quite far away from all the planning, we hope to help as much as we can with any last minute preparations and details for a most exciting event coming up this very Saturday!! We are very much looking forward to attending Jeremy and Sarah's wedding, witnessing the vows they will make to each other, and celebrating with them the beginning of their new lives together. It's hard to believe that the day is almost upon us, and we are so very happy for them!! Congratulations guys! I'm sure I'll be posting a few pictures. Anyways, it's Sunday afternoon, and I have about a hundred pages left to read in my book. The unfortunate thing is, in our packing frenzy last night, it was tucked away in one of the boxes that can be found in the pile which is taking up 1/3 of our living space. I'm really hoping it's near the top!Our Living Room

wow - even while moving you manage to keep it all organized! sigh.. you have a talent! P.s. we have to see you before you move!!!
It looks to me like you could use some "bubblewrap" I know where (and from whom) you could get some cheap! ;-)
Dear anonymous,
you manage to comment on so many people's blogs, it seems that reading blogs is your full time job! Who are you? Where are you from? And, unbelievable as it may be, we have not as of yet used ANY bubblewrap to pack things. Lots of newspaper and plastic bags - certainly not as fun as bubblewrap but I would spend too much time popping and not enought time packing!
Dear Rachel:
We absolutely have to get together this week, it is a rule I just made up.
I'm sure I'll be talking to you soon!
ARRRGGGHHH!H!!! I have to moooove all that stuff... hopefully not all by myself!!! Otherwise i'm gonna send you my chiropractical bills...
No no Danielle. We didn't ask you to move all our stuff by yourself... we were talking about cleaning the new place! We know where your talents lie...... But don't worry. After several hours hunched over cleaning our oven, we'll be happy to pay for your chiropractical bills.
yay for moving. :) I'm looking forward to helping you out, just so I can finally see that new place! and yay for finally leaving Redeemer's campus. :)
see you thursday! :)
OK, now I know to stay away on moving day - sounds like Mike has big plans for you Danielle! RUN!!
Gonna miss you guys but we hope that you're soon feeling at home in your new community! That's exciting!
Too bad that I won't be around to help out cleaning your oven on Tuesday, but I'll be sure to be underfoot on Wednesday, lugging all your crap everywhere for you. Woohoo!
Sounds like a party...
But really, it's exciting. It's too bad that Mom can't be here with us/you on such a big day. We'll take lots of pictures for her, though.
