i am certain the above title is probably not how you say good bye in korean, but it works for me now and i will make any necessary correction to it when i am actually in korea picking up the language along with any any air borne diseases i am certain they will discover are in korea within weeks of our arrival. we are officially out of our house with the help of an all star cast of packers and movers. there were way more boxes than i care to unpack so i am contemplating throwing out every third one and see what comes up missing. it seems like such a daunting task watching your life packed up in dingy grayish paper and sealed shut with screaming tape until you realize you have to unseal and unpack every single box. makes me wish i was more of a minimalist like my friend paul. but back to the flashy team of movers...they really are deserving of an honorable mention here :: first, the mastermind of the show was josh, a 26 year old soon to be professional boxer (according to him) who arrived to pack each day with several pins protruding from his hand after surgery from a bad punch. id give him some award for successfully packing out my entire kitchen with one good hand, but i wont really know if he was successful until i unpack the boxes months from now. there was brunell, a 40 something fellow who had been on the job just under 2 weeks and was under the watchful eye of the above mentioned boxer/packer. he was a hard worker who only sweat occasionally on my linens as he packed them. bud, a retired military man in his 70's made an appearance for a few hours one day, but didnt join us the rest of the week. finally there was francis who was very polite, albeit a bit timid since it was his first day on the job. the good news is they did arrive everyday in a real truck unlike our hawaiian movers who showed up late afternoon in a milk truck everyday. i wish i was kidding, but im not. after crying about the fate of all my stuff, milk truck driver and his hawaiian sidekick managed to eventually pack us out in just one short week. it turned out to be the only move without damaged goods. hows that for some aloha.

We will miss you guys so much. I am so glad we got to spend the last few days together. It was great, west nile scare and all. ;) Good luck on the road and post lots of pictures!
Oh how we will miss you guys! I missed seeing your sweet faces at church today and the Peach running around. Lots of prayers for safety and peace in your travels.
It's only been a matter of days, and we have mentioned so many times how much we miss you! Your family will always be special to us! We love you!
