We're in our last few weeks of being Marylanders. As we scramble around to pack up our lives, and tie up loose ends it sometimes is overwhelming to think of everything still to be done. We're squeezing everything into boxes, taking down pictures, and getting rid of non-essentials. We've yet to sell the 2nd car. I have to junk my old motorcycle; unless I cannot find the title then I might have to throw it on the truck for another move. While I am excited about the upcoming move I hate the process of moving.
Sara and I have been trying to check things off of our Maryland Bucket List before we move. We're not going to get through the list however. We did manage to take the family into DC for a day of museums and fun, and we had crabs with my brother's family. Things we may not get to include a trip to the shore - we haven't gone to Ocean City once in the 9 years we've been living in Maryland. We're not going to make it to Assateague Island.
We're trying to say goodbye to as many friends and acquaintances as we can. It's starting to sink in that we will not be seeing these friends on a daily basis again. Co-workers, former co-stars, and colleagues are all going to be missed - well, maybe not all. With only a few weeks left time is getting tight. We managed to squeeze a brunch in with friends we have not seen in a while, and then went to a cook out/going away party with many of our local theatre friends. What a great time we had goofing off, swimming, and swapping stories with our friends. It was a good weekend.
We're heading out of town next weekend for a family get together in North Carolina; guess I'm going to make it to the shore even if it isn't a Maryland beach. I'm sure we'll have a good time but that's over 72 hours of packing/organizing time lost. No panic isn't setting in yet but I'm sure it will soon. When we return we will have 1 week until our moving day. 1 week! How in the hell are we already in the month of June!
The family is doing well. Ronen is growing everyday, and has started smiling. She's sleeping better and is starting to take notice of things going on around her. Evie Sue seems to understand that we're moving but I'm not sure she fully comprehends what it means. She talks about spending time with Grandma and Grandpa, her cousins, and tells people we're moving far away but it remains to be seen if she knows what she's in for and I'm not just talking about the 3 day road trip! I'm noty sure Sara and I are ready for the road trip! Sara is fond of saying something like, "Short of teleportation there is no way to make this trip not suck!" So unless someone invents a teleporting device in the next 2 weeks we're in for a hell of a ride!
