The to-do list is growing as our date of departure looms nearer. On top of beginning to collect myself to live in Phoenix for the next four months, there is a man painting the basement, three men pouring concret in the back patio, and four men with jackhammers and saws cutting cement and re-bar in the garage. Not to mention the fact that the entire contents of the garage and basement seem to be piled around every available surface on the main floor.
But, it is time to close this chapter and move forward, and I can only giggle at the irony in the fact that we are ALMOST finished with the construction at this juncture. Trying to finish up the transition at work has been a challenge, and working on nailing down details about moving next weekend has been defeating. But Brian has been continually encouraging and is ready to check out the campus where I will be spending all of my time. Colorado has been priming us for Arizona with our recent heat wave, which is supposed to continue this weekend!
I hope to keep in touch, and appreciate your thoughts as we embark on the journey. We will be driving all day Friday, and Brian will fly home on Sunday evening. Then, it's off to Economics Bootcamp for me on Monday...
