Well, saying good-bye may be one of the hardest things that we have to do... a close second is the sorting and labeling and inventorying EVERYTHING in our house!!
First the Good Bye's.... We have had several gatherings to try to meet all of our friends before we head off. Mira was the first to have her party. It was a scrapbook party where her classmates and cousins came over an made her a scrapbook. I think that it will help her remember her friends and family when she is in India!
The next day was a big open house at my parents place. This was a great time to see family and friends! We were really grateful to my parents for hosting the party... it was perfect! The weather cooperated, the food was yummy, and most importantly we were able to see so many people that are very special to us at this party! Thank you to everyone that was able to make it!
Then we had a nice family party at our cousins 'resort'. It was bonding time with our cousins.... I think that we will definitely miss these gatherings!
The parties/gatherings are still going on... neighbors, cousins, families.... it nice to have all of these social gatherings sprinkled in between all the other madness.
Now on to the PACKING.... this includes the sorting, labeling and inventorying of everything we own! The good thing is that we don't actually have to 'pack' anything - that is what the movers are going to do... this is one of the perks of a corporate move. With all of this going on, there is the compulsion to keep going out to buy more things.... seems counterproductive doesn't?
Honestly, the next 9 days (yes, that is all we have left) will be a flurry of activity! In between we will have to say good bye to everyone..... but it is really not 'good bye'.... it is more like 'until we meet again'.
PS there will be more pictures soon....
