And the Countdown Begins

Ben officially has less than 2 weeks left in Arizona! For real!
I can't believe he is "this" (imagine me holding up my hand to show an inch) close to being back with Couv and I - and the rest of our Krey/Fredricks clan!

Side note: I probably will use many exclamation points in this message, deal with it.

I know Ben has quite a bit of work cut out for himself to try to get the place move-out ready and I'm almost positive he's not thrilled, but in two weeks it will all be over with. We are working on renting the beast of a house, and it's really been tough to find someone, but we've had a few people interested and they have both submitted applications. Cross your fingers yet again that something will come through - or else Ben and I have to pay through our ears to leave!

In all of this moving the thing I am most concerned with is our TV. Our beloved TV. I definitely do not want to harm it in moving so I am trying to figure out the best place for it - is it between two mattresses in the moving truck? In the back of Ben's car with soft things all around it? Or somewhere else I haven't though of??? Hmmm... this will eat me up.

So, Ben's dad is flying down on Wednesday the 26th and will help with the finishing touches of packing and cleaning - or relaxing in the 90 degree weather. He and Ben will get the truck on Thursday and take the couches to Sarah P's and other stuff to Goodwill. Hopefully most if not all of our stuff will be loaded before I arrive on Thursday evening at 10 PM. Then we will depart after rush hour Friday morning for three long and fun days of driving. I'm not thinking about how long the shifts will be.... three people to drive 2 vehicles - one ford focus and one u-haul truck... but it's going to be A DRIVE.

Either way, I'm looking forward to helping Ben make this trip so we and our stuff can FINALLY be together. The craziest thing is that I have been away from Arizona for four months already. I can't believe it's been that long. Since leaving people have gotten married, had babies, gotten pregnant (again:)!), and started dating. I guess that's what people do, but I feel like so much has happened in this time and it's felt like 2 minutes. Cheers to being together again!

Gotta go. My mom just informed me we are eating take-out from House of Fong. Yum!
