Almost Gone

We are in the home stretch of getting ready to come home. This time next week I should (hopefully) be settling into our home of 5 months and making daily wonderful trips to Walmart and HEB...really it took living away from them to gain novelty. I have always loved Target though.
We do have a bit of news. We found out on Wednesday last week that we will be moving to another city within a few days of arriving back here in March. We sat stunned for a couple of days and then it hit us, we have to pack, like now! We had been planning on taking our time packing for the US, but that all got put off, we have to pack-up our entire apartment. We have been frantic. Our helper has been staying overtime to help us, and I would say as of right now we have about 65% of our apartment packed. We will have to spend a couple days here after arriving back in country before we move, so we cannot pack everything. Also, we have just run out of time. At the end of the day today we called off packing our apartment so that tomorrow (Friday) we can focus on packing for our time in the US.
We leave Saturday morning to fly to a large city. We will spend a day and a half there. We plan to go buy AB a big girl bed at Ikea (and mail it back to this apartment), pick up a few other little things, and relax. Monday at 12:40 pm we will board our lovely plane that will hopefully be holding our 5, 50 lb suitcases below, 6 carry-on bags, and AB's car seat and make our way to San Francisco. Elevenish hours later we will land, and couple hours afterwards takeoff for Dallas. We plan to be hugging our family by 4:30 pm on Monday. Yea!
We hope to see all of our Texas friends very soon. To everyone else, we still have Skype : )
