I'm so excited for you, sis! I think this is a great move!
Did everyone get the furniture?
Everything but the chair. That person never showed when they said they would, and hasn't responded to any messages since. :-\ I'm just gonna leave it behind and keep listing it on Craig's List. It's a hassle I'd rather not leave Jen to do, but I dunno how else to handle it.
Heh...the cats are actin' like little kids do in a big empty space - tearing around and making a ruckus. But as Jen pointed out, it's better to have 'em do it now than during the trip!
