It is very quiet in the house. Bari and the kitties are asleep. The house is empty, except for the few items that will go in the car with us. We hired some movers to load the truck earlier today. They spent four hours and packed all of our belongings into eleven feet of the truck (we are being charged for each foot we use--I thought we would use 14 feet--and these guys were very impressive with how they packed everything).
Tomorrow we just have to meet with our landlord and pack the car, and then we'll hit the road!
Today was a little sad, because we had to say goodbye (for now) to a lot of really close friends. We had drinks with Bert and Monica and then a "Yee-haw" party with a bunch of our closest friends from college (I refused to call it a "goodbye" party). We will really miss the great friends and community we have here in D.C. It is certainly tough moving to a new place where we know no one! But I am sure that we will meet people quickly. I am extremely excited about my clerkship, and I know that Bari is excited about becoming an elementary school teacher. So, while we can be a little sad tonight, we will look forward to tomorrow and the next year, as we know they will bring a ton of adventures.
Special thanks to Mark, Annie, Drew, Kristen, Tim, Jackie, Liz, Chris, and Naomi for a great sendoff. You--and everyone else we have said "yee-haw" to over the past few weeks--have a special place in our hearts.
I will try to post tomorrow night from whereever we are (likely Louisville), assuming we have an internet connection. Oh--sorry for the lack of pictures. I am "borrowing" neighbor's internet, and pictures would take too long to upload.
We're off! Giddy-up!
