Pack-Out Days














Sherman kept his eye on the movers these past three days, as they packed up our house-hold belongings.



























No doubt .... wondering ... where are my toys, and my cozy bed.









The movers were awesome!




Boxes and boxes and boxes ... over 350 items on the inventory! Wow!





According to psychologists, relocation is among the most stressful events that can happen to a person, or a family. Changing jobs goes along with relocation, and is also high on the stressindex. For many people the decision to relocate involves a complex set of variables of a financial, personal and emotional nature. For those of us in the US Military, it's a way of life.


Never-the-less, these factors contribute to the stress in varying degrees, depending upon the individuals involved. Sherman, for example, isn't very hungry today and he is drueling for no apparant reason. Poor guy! He doesn't understand what's going on. But, we mark the days when this part of the moving saga is over, and we're on the other side of it all.


This is where we're headed ... our new home! You can see John and Rondi's house in the background on the left.
Won't it be fun for Karis to walk across the yard to Mimi & Papa's house? What a dream!

  1. Awe Sherman....he'll be so happy when he gets here to the wide open spaces of North Carolina & our back yard!! I'll miss that house in Japan, many wonderful times and memories there (my room! and that bathroom! the best bathroom ever!).

    We CAN'T WAIT to have you guys here right next to us... May God bless the rest of your time in Japan.

    LOVE YOU!
    Rondi
