Although we only lived in a 1 bedroom apt in San Diego, it is amazing how much stuff we needed to pack. This was even after tossing a ton of stuff using the tools I learned watching one of my favorite TV shows, NEAT. It felt really good to pare down on the "crap". The animals were a little confused and were very clingy. The dog was nervous every time we left the house during the last 2 days in SD. The cat was never far either. (Side note, thanks to the latest chemo treatment we gave Namir, he was back to his old self exploring, running like a crazy cat and falling into boxes.) On the last night, we all slept on the floor because everything was packed. Namir and Lavi even found comfort in one another (when they weren't harassing Merlin, who was in a small cage under a cover on the floor).
The next morning, Namir and I went to the airport and Lavi, Merlin, Matt (and friend Mike) started the 2 1/2 day drive. It really was a toss up as to who got the raw end of the deal. A 2 1/2 hour flight with a cat screaming non-stop or a 2 1/2 day drive worrying about a little parrot and very confused puppy - you choose! Neither was an experience we look forward to doing again. Here is a rare picture of Namir in his carrier between crying fits.
Although this was a very fast move for us, we are glad we got it over with.
Here is a cute cake of Oregon my coworker, Bill, made for me before I left. It even has our litle family on it.
