Korea shipment is done

We spent yesterday with three movers. They were surprised at how small the shipment was, and were in and out in just a few hours. The main weight of the shipment was paper and clothing. What can I say...I have a bunch of clothes, Wendall is an attorney. We also had a bunch of artwork, of course, and a few books.

By a few books, I actually mean a few. The shipment will not arrive until the end of August. I will arrive in mid July. The next few days will be spent figuring out what I will mail to Korea before I leave Germany. Wendall will be there to collect the moxes, and oh yeah, it will be free for us to mail as much as we want, so the majority of our books and clothing and even some of our artwork will be mailed.

How is it free? Overseas shipping from one APO box to another is free. The boxes never leave the military postal system, so they are not charged by the USPS. Woohoo! each box has to be under 70 lbs, and they have to follow the USPS guidelines, but I will happily live with that.

This weekend is our official goodbye party. Monday and Tuesday will be the days for the main shipment, so we will say goodbye to most of our thngs for the next few years. Wendall's travel plans are set, and mine will be figured out early next week. I will let people know where I will be (and when) by email.

That's the news for now. I'm off to get the boy and to arrange for some borrowed furniture once ours leaves.

The move is almost here. The movers will be here in less than a week. Our lives are very full right now, and I'm finding it difficult to breathe. I'll be better in two weeks when the big part of this is done.

We just got back from five days in Italy. It was truly filled with wonders. If you click on the photo you will go to flickr, where you will see other photos.

Mmmmm, Currychunks!
