Sorting through our lives

Well, Reuben and I have begun the arduous task of packing things. I know, I know; we're not moving, yet. But regardless of how early it is, IT WILL HAPPEN. One thing is for sure--we won't be staying in Big Spring next year. It is sad because we have finally found a church home and many great friends (not to mention their kids!). I think of Donna as a substitute Mom for me since mine has been gone now for 10 years. Lauren and Scott have been great friends, always knowing when to invite us to do something when they know we need it. And everyone at church that makes us feel like a family. Likewise, the Mallett clan always welcomes us with open arms.
Needless to say; this is going to be tough on us. We are excited about the prospect of moving to a new place (hopefully more metropolitan than Big Spring). But we are both very scared as well. There are so many things running through our minds; too numerous to count!!
The packing is going well, however. I have lots of pictures and books packed up, but so far, no one room is complete. I can't bring myself to take down all my pictures; I still want it to feel like a home, not just some place we're staying during our transition. I do know this: I have entirely too many clothes!! 3 boxes of sweaters and 1 box of t shirts and not all are packed up yet! Can you believe it. By the way, I already have 2 full boxes of clothes for a garage sale. Now I need to go through my shoes!
Well I need to sign off now: I was procrastinating finishing my closet; I was getting overwhelmed! Wish us luck as we start tackling other packing obstacles: cleaning out drawers and going through unlabeled, forgotten boxes. Those should be fun: you never know what you'll find!!

By the way: we have only heard from one school district so far. We are going to Pasadena on April 25th for a job fair. Hopefully, it's still a little early for jobs to be posted or for interviews to be done. We hope for April to pick up some.
