Some progress is being made toward our move...
1)We all have our passports! All six of them. Although we have 4 different expiration dates among the six passports! Gonna have to pay attention to that in the future!
2)I have a general idea of what I will be teaching at CAJ, but things can change on that front. Right now it looks like I will be in middle school. Specifically 6th grade homeroom, math and Bible. In addition to that I will likely be teaching one other core subject OR 8th grade math. Anxiously waiting for the final say on that so I can start digging into curriculum maps and making plans! I did go ahead and buy a cheap teachers guide for the 6th grade math on Amazon.
3)We have sold and will keep selling our bigger furniture items. We are know eating at a picnic table, having sold our dining table and chairs this week. My "desk" is now a group of boxes stacked up. I am surprised at how much we have sold and yet still have PLENTY of junk. Too much stuff. Seriously. Even being minimalists has not saved us from collecting a bunch of things we have no need for.

4)This month I realized that we will not be having any yard, garage, or junk sales to raise money because neither Mark and I can hold onto our unwanted/unnecessary junk that long! Several carloads have already been taken to our local KARM (Knoxville Area Rescue Ministries) thrift shop. We have always been minimalists, and having a good excuse to purge is fun for us. :-) I think we'd rather be blessed by donating it to a good cause than be blessed by the few dollars we could get for selling it.
So five months to go. Seems like forever and yet I know it will be here soon!
