Waiting...

And now we wait. We faxed the application and express mailed the funds for our rental and now we just have to wait to be approved. We should know by Tuesday, but the Realtor we are working with (a real estate office is managing the property) said he's been doing this for many years and doesn't see anything that would prevent us from being approved. I'm really excited about living in the condo we found. I just hope when we get there it is as nice as it seems, and well even if it's not, it's only a year.

Our next step will be setting up a moving company. We think we are going with Movex. It is a "you pack" service then they drive it for us and we unload. I've been holding off on booking because we wanted to be sure we had a place to go.

We still have tons to pack and tons to sell. Our first garage sale was last Saturday and we did great, but still have so much left. We are selling most of our furniture (minus the beds, Nathan's dresser, the computer desk, and the TV stand) so we don't need as much truck space. We also have to decide if we want to bring the piano (or moreso if it is practical to bring it).

We have 3 kitty cats that we go back and forth on. They were our first babies while we struggled with infertility and leaving them behind breaks my heart. We are waiting to hear how many pets we can have, if any. Hopefully we can just bring all 3 with us. Which of course means figuring out how to get them there but we will cross that bridge when we get there.

I can't believe in just over 3 weeks we are leaving Michigan.
