Update on the move
As we rapidly approach the 3-month mark of our move down under, we are realizing that our time to get ready is quickly evaporating. Had the big garage sale yesterday and rid ourselves of much of the "essential stuff" that had filled our garage and closets for the past 6 years. Somebody even bought the old "Mini-Nightmare Champion 1998" baseball cap. Don't worry, I still have the rock, in case anyone disputes the award. Memories of shoes being left in the mud come rushing back to mind. Still awaiting word from the NZ Ministry of Health, but not expecting any issues on that end so we will be submitting our visas in the coming month. Ordering a math textbook for Sydney so that she can be sure to be on track when she arrives in the middle of 10th grade. Not too worried about Galen as his main focus is playing rugby and snowboarding when we arrive. Tyler will be given a backpack upon arrival and will hopefully stay out of the local legal system until he returns for school in January. I'll just give him directions to Rick's house in the event he needs to perform hard labor to earn spending money. All in all, the move preps continue to go smoothly and we are really looking forward to the transition from desert sand to total green surroundings.

Update on your Christchurch quarters: Work is almost finished on the remodel. We just need two doors hung and the glass for the downstairs shower installed. There's still painting to be dealt with, but as you say there's always Tyler on hand. Be sure to get Sydney at "maths" textbook instead of that math book. If Galen likes rugby, he'll fit in here faster than any of us. I am a bit surprised you didn't want to hang on to all the muddy shoes and rocks and other crap for presentation to the nightmare museum. I have a feeling we may be able to start our own after a few adventures here. The training for your arrival continues - I run my first race (12K) this weekend.
