So, we left Arizona today (Sunday). I have lived in AZ my entire life (almost 45 years), and now we have left. In those 45 years the longest I have ever lived away from AZ is 8 weeks when on vacation. Now we begin our journey to our new home in Idaho. As you know…

Dinner with a Former Student
A few weeks ago a former student of mine, “D”, emailed me and asked if she could have my wife and I over for dinner with her and her boyfriend before we moved. We said yes, and said that it would be great if it could be the week of the movers and when the…
Flooring at the New House
As I mentioned before we decided to replace the carpet in the new house. It was worn in most of the house, and so we decided to do it now before all the furniture got in. Makes the most sense after all. We went with Costco and they subcontract out to a local place in…
Moving Out – Day 3 and Their Gone
Today was day 3 with the moving company. They got here again at 5:30am to get to work. There were 3 different guys here today and no woman. It was primarily a load day with just a little bit left to actually pack. They worked hard and were done by 10:45am. They did a fine…
The Moving – Rest of Day 2
So, as I mentioned in yesterday’s post the movers got here early and worked all day. Tuesday was a lot of loading, and packing. Monday was all packing and no loading at all. But this day was full of boxes and furniture getting out and into the truck. They packed the garage, the main floor,…

Roads… Where we’re going, we don’t need roads
I got to do something tonight that was fun and a childhood dream. We all know that Back to The Future is a great trilogy of movies. The acting is good, the storylines are good, and the car is, well – the car. That car added a degree to the films that was special, and…
Closer To Selling Our House
This week we have worked on getting the house ready to sell. Well, truthfully it has been a week of getting things ready to move out. We are moving out next week, and then the house will go up for sale. I started telling our neighbors about us moving. There was the surprise and shock…
Top Movies
I used to be a big movie person. I loved going to movies in the theater. I loved listening to their soundtracks (if they were good). I loved buying the ones I really liked and then watching them over and over again. So, for today’s installment you get my top movies. I’ll start by listing…
One Week Until Movers
It is getting much more real – this moving thing. All three of the ladies in my house have been working hard to clean and pack some things up. I have also been doing some as well. But today seems a bit more real since in a week the movers will show up for day…
