Ok, one more post before I go... Oh man am I dreading tomorrow. Not because I have going to have to say goodbye to some of my closest friends- but because we have a ton of crap to load up!!! I have recruited my boys to help- but man. Over 20 pieces of furniture and over 100 boxes!!!! Not mention all the other random crap- wakeboard, snowboards, guitars... This is going to be nuts. The crazier thing is that I am basically going to unload it by myself. I have a guy from the new lab to help me with the heavy stuff. I might have to give it up and wait for the family. As long as I get that tv hooked up! Ha.
It's kind of funny about the timing of our leaving. I remember we decided to stay through 4th of July so we could celebrate it. Then a few days ago we realized that we had no plans for it! So we invited ourselves over to our friend Tony's. I had visions of going and seeing the Davis fireworks one last time, but now that we are parents the closest I got to the fireworks was when I could hear them as I was taking out the trash. Last year we went downtown and Rachel was running like a refugee because we were right where they shot them off and they were super loud. Rachel was shielding Lucas' 3 month old ears and running to protect him from becoming deaf. No such excitement this year. We had fun with friends, a nice BBQ. A good last gathering. Although I think we are hanging out with folks tomorrow after we pack up the truck. Tomorrow night will be the most interesting. We will have nothing at all in our apt. Lucas is going to keep us up all night, that is if sleeping on the air mattress doesn't. Lucas will be in a borrowed pack and play crib- oh boy... ugly. No Wiggles for the tv... UGLY. Oh man- I am praying for Sunday. If I can make it until then. I'll blog more in Pullman. Thank you Davis, you have been very good to me. Good for my career, good for my spirituality, my heart. I have made many lifelong friends here and this place has shaped who I am. I have no idea where the road ahead lies, but Davis will be a step that I will always remember and think back to fondly. It is always tough to move on, but this place will easy to leave- it's the people that will be hard as hell to say goodbye to...
