"So, how are things going with the move?"

This is the predominent question these days.
The answer is "slow but sure." The biggest task at this point is getting the house ready to sell. That means purge, purge, purge. And pack a little. And, the wallpaper on 16 walls "has to go," according to the realtor. Of course, those walls need painted after they are stipped of paper. And the outside of the house needs painted. And EVERYTHING needs cleaned. And, did I mention that stuff has to GO?!?!? We should probably get rid of the weeds in what is supposed to be flower beds.....
Someday soon, our employer will get our sponsorship papers and numbers. When that happens, we get to apply for our visas and entry clearance.
We still don't have a firm date yet, but expect to leave around the end of September.
The kids are still not excited, and quite vocal about not wanting to go. But, I think they are accepting that we are moving anyway. At least for now.
Not much going on for now. More later!
