It has begun...

Meanwhile, today, the moving began in earnest.  We've spent the past two weeks+ organizing all of our belongings into four piles: take on plane, ship on boat, store for however-long-we're-gone, store in an accessible storage unit.  It really does make you think about all of the junk you keep around you, and why you do so.  The house has been a mess, and I've been judicious about what gets worn, or put on beds, or dries hands, vs. what stays cleaned and in piles.  What an adventure we're about to go on!

we won't be seeing these things until summer 2014 at the earliest
