I started this checklist back the end of May. It's been updated and boxes have been checked over the last 2 months... We don't actually have keys to the new Jacksonville house but we have a landlord and an address. Our U-haul BOX-it is packed in the front yard and U-haul will deliver it to our driveway in Oregon in 2 weeks. Wednesday we start a cross country drive that has morphed from 3 weeks via Quebec and Montreal Highland games, to 3 weeks via the actual Oregon Trail, to now, 2 weeks via Michigan and Minnesota to see friends and to get Judd to school about August 14 for teacher bonding activities. I still have about a Sept. 1 start date so will have 2 weeks there to settle in (i.e. unpack and re-supply.) We'll only have 1 car to start, so I'll drop Judd at school (or have him explore public transportation.) It looks like a 15 min drive OR a 50 min bus ride from Jacksonville to Medford.
At breakfast this week Phil asked where we were on the excited-spectrum: i.e. 0-1 is "I have to move because of work" to 8-10 "this is such an exciting adventure." I said I didn't feel like there was an average number. One day I'm a 3 and the next day I'm a 9. Although there are more days where I'm over 6 than under 6.....maybe because Judd keeps reassuring me, "we're going on a big adventure." I don't know if he believes it or if he's just trying to keep my spirits up. What do you think?
