We have sold everything we have accumulated for the past several years. We packed a few boxes with items we may want to use and keep and shipped them to Jeff's mom's basement (Thank you, Phyllis! :)).

It was an interesting experience purging to this extent and watching our belongings leave us to find new homes (or the dumpster). We found it hard to let go of some items and had to really consider the reasons.

Alas, the place is basically empty and we are now in cleaning mode. As I finish my last day at work, Jeff is getting last minute items ready for our big cross country drive.

The first destination is Big Bend National Park - http://www.nps.gov/bibe/index.htm! We leave Sunday morning and hope to be arriving right before sunset and watch the sun go beyond the Mexican Mountains.
