Our Lives in Boxes

August 2, 2011August 1, 2011

We just moved offices. After we unpacked there was a pile of boxes taller than I am. It took 2 days for the custodial crew to haul them all away.

And I took the stash of good boxes I hoarded home with me. Time to start packing non-essentials to go to storage. In case you hadn’t heard, William got a job in Austin! He’ll head up now and the boys and I will follow when I find a job. So, we’ll be living out of boxes and suitcases for a while.

And we’re happy to do it. So…know of any job openings?

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thanksgiving

We have at least two Thanksgivings each year (three if all the families are in town). Of course we have Thanksgiving with Grandma and all my aunts, uncles and cousins. If they are in town, we also go to William’s parents’ house. And, as I have most years since I was 19, I go over…
