This thing called time

Time has been on our mind a lot lately.  Things that had seemed pretty far in the future are now starting to happen at an accelerated pace.

Since accepting this new job back in January, there are several milestones that we have been crossing off our list:

1. Complete the needed paperwork for Visa
2. New light fixtures get installed in house
3. Laura goes back to work as a long-term sub until end of year
4. Flight information arrives
5. New Windows arrive and get installed
6. Gary's last day of work
7. New door gets installed
8. Lower floor gets emptied and bedroom gets moved upstairs.
9. Everything gets boxed, pitched, sold, or donated
10. Deck stained/walls painted
11. House gets "staged", appraised, and put on market
12. Sisters arrive for some relaxation
13. Education conference on ESL testing
14. Departure - August 4

We are now just 2 days away from #6 on our list - Gary's last day of work!   The flight information arrived yesterday, so we also now have a deadline to finish everything on our list - August 4!  Today we have begun the installation of the new windows.  We still have a lot to do and it is hard not to worry about having enough "time" to get it all done.  Isn't that the story of our lives?
