Let the packing begin!

Here is what our life currently looks like (and probably will look like for the next 6 months except reversed).

Carrie thought Ryan's description of this box's contents was picture worthy.

Carrie and Ryan came down Monday night and have been helping us pack and giving us a break for some fun times in between. We've really enjoyed having them around this week for playing tennis, watching movies, playing Settlers, and much more. MJ has fed us a few times too which has been most helpful.

Hollie's parents offered us 4 free tickets to see the Enchanted Lights at Rock City! It was great to spend time with Hollie and get a chance to see Rock City - I wanted to see it before we moved away since everything says "SEE ROCK CITY!"

Pictures will not do it justice but it was neat to walk through the natural rock formations and gardens decorated with lights. Some places were very narrow - Carrie might put some pictures up on her blog of those!

The view of Chattanooga from the overlook - how beautiful - we might not see this many lights together for a long time!

Hopefully, it won't be too long between the times there are at least 3 of us girls together!

On Friday in the midst of our vehicle buying and maintenance spree we all paused for a meal at Los Potros - Hollie and I always seem to end up here when we get together so we thought we'd take the rest of them with us.


Right before Ryan's last drive with Lucille... his face says it all. Lucille has been his dependable ride since 2002. It was sad but he is very excited about his new acquisition which you will have to wait to see until a future post. We're thankful for Randy's expertise in helping us with this new purchase!

One week to go! May our stacks of packed boxes increase!
