Well, is certainly wasn't pretty, but we got it done. Sorting and packing took on a whole new meaning when we considered the following:
- Items to keep and store for 5 years
- Items that our kids wanted
- Items to donate to charity
- Items for the yard sale
- Items to trash
- Items that are coming with us
It's been a crazy two weeks since we got the offer, but on Friday morning at 11:00, we closed on our house......and closed a chapter of our lives. We spent the rest of the day packing, loading the car and U-Haul, and cleaning the house. We pulled out of the driveway at 8:30 pm and can officially say
the nest is empty.
 |
| We had stuff EVERYWHERE! |
 |
| Elsie stopped by to help us load the trailer :) |
 |
| Our worldly possessions are getting stored at the Cooper barn for five years |
 |
| The beer fridge rolled down the street and right into Todd and Julie's garage :) |
 |
| Empty nest |
 |
| We knew we could count on our neighbors to empty the keg from our farewell party! Saying that we had fantastic neighbors on Leeward Court would be an understatement. We're going to miss them all! |
 |
| And the sweetest present of all from our darling little neighbor.....I'm going to miss her smiling face and wonderful hugs. |
Thankfully, David had the brainwave for us to visit his mom in
Northport and get a little R&R under our eyelids before heading south to Maryland. It's been a lovely fall weekend with a nice balance of chores, rest, home-cooked meals, and good company.
 |
| Everything that's coming on this five-year adventure is packed in here! |
Now we're feeling rested and ready to start our trek to the Chesapeake Bay!
