Moving Update

Mike on the mike here. Update to our move. All of our stuff is now on a truck somewhere between Kansas and Georgia. Russ, our 75 year old driver, showed up with a truck with about 6000 pounds of another move. Needless to say, not all of our stuff fit in the truck. Most of our outdoor toys and furniture are now strapped outside and on the back of the truck. If you see a North America moving truck with a large green turtle shaped sandbox strapped to the back of our truck, thats ours!

Julia finally took the kids to the Great Wolf Lodge around 5 yesterday after we realized it was going to be a long day of packing the truck. I ended up leaving post around 10 at night. The kids had a great day yesterday and this morning at the lodge, playing in the water park. Both Timmy and Katie had swim vests, making it even easier to enjoy the water! We ended up back on post this afternoon cleaning the now empty (nearly) house while the kids played with their friends outside. We're in the Embassy Suites tonight and tomorrow night. We'll be back to clean again tomorrow then turn in the keys to our Infantry Barracks apartment after nearly 3 long, but great years!!!

I outprocessed SAMS today, and more importantly, got my final copy of my monograph turned in....whew!! Now the wait to see if I was successful in my KSU quest.

We'll keep you posted when we can. By Thursday, the Sullivans with 3 kids, 2 cats and a dog will start the trek southeast to Richmond Hill, Georgia!!!
