365 #23 - Friday, January 27

Thankful again today for my dad.  He's a great guy - he's kind, patient, and always willing to help.

This morning we pulled down the fence on one side of our property, measured the fence line and made a list of materials.  We met with the moving company.  It's not quite as awesome a package as we had hoped, and the tears came for the first time.  It's going to be a crazy, hard-working, stressful few months until we get settled.

It also is clear that, with the timelines for listing the house, selling the house, and the logistics for everything, that getting the family all moved by Spring Break is going to be very difficult.  It's likely instead that we'll spend several months apart; I'll get a room in NY to stay in for cheap.  When the house sells, the family will come.

It'll work out.  We did it in 2010, with a lot of uncertainty.  This time, we know what we're doing, we have some choices, and if it's too hard, the family can leave the house and come to NY on short notice.
