Rain Rain Rain

Why is it that when we come home something always prevents us from doing what we need to do? We came home to get the mail and then decided to take two extra days off so that we could get some of the house packed up. And today it has been raining like crazy. We managed to go and rent a storage unit and get some boxes so we can pack the inside of the house while the weather is bad. We are hoping tomorrow that we can get some of the large stuff moved. We have a king size bed, two full size and a twin, two couches, two love seats, recliner, two dining room tables and two hutches, two refridgerators, dishwasher, washer and dryer, sofa table, two night stands, two end tables, a dressing table and a home gym. And that is all I can think of off the top of my head. We are planning on getting rid of a bunch of stuff like the entertainment center, all the televisions (they are old) two old computers, a big desk and a crap load of kitchen stuff. Not to mention TONS of clothes. We are going to take all of the clothes down and donate them to a thrift store here in town. I like donating my clothes because I always seem to have a ton of them, but I just don't have a need for them anymore since we are driving a truck now. About the only clothes that I am going to keep are the formal dresses I have, my wedding clothes and J's tux. Then whatever clothes we take in the truck with us.

We also found out that J's son Justin is talking to a Navy recruiter on Wednesday and is wanting to sign up and go in for SEAL training. His poor girlfriend is not taking this good. They had planned on going to college and now he ups and decides he wants to do this. He was previously looking at the military but changed his mind and had decided on college. So now he is thinking of military again and their relationship is in total khaos. Poor girl. We just love her to death and we really want them to make this work because they are wonderful together. But she is scared of leaving her family and moving to California where he would be based for a while. Which is understandable. She has dreams that she wants to follow and they included Justin but they did not include him leaving. She said that she always promised herself that she wouldn't change her dreams for a guy, and you have to respect that in her. But they are young. We will just take it a day at a time and see what happens.

So that is what is going on here. Time to log off and start packing some things up.
