Just thought I would let the three people who actually read our blog know that the kids and I are moving back to Idaho in the middle of August. I got my old job back teaching preschool at Challenger School and the renters are moving out of our house at the end of the month. Rance is going to stay in California to work and come and visit us on the weekends. I'm not looking forward to the whole "long distance relationship" thing, but hopefully we won't have to do it forever.
I know that I have moved around too much in my life because any time I see discarded boxes, I have the Pavlovian desire to pull over and cram them into the back of the van. Just the sight of cardboard peeking out of a dumpster, and I am mentally assessing which items from our house would fit into which box and how sturdy/waterproof each box is. I have discovered that old plastic grocery bags make excellent packing material that can easily be recycled, and I know the exact order in which I will pack up each room. I even have dreams at night about organizing and storing our material possessions. Before you think I am totally off my rocker, this is my fourth move in less then two years. That is bound to test the sanity of anyone.

Moving has got to be the worst experience ever...right up there with kidney stones, I guess.
Congrats on the new/old job, you're going to have the shortest commute in the whole state.
We'll be waiting at your house, ready to help you move back in!
Hey, have fun with that whole packing up thing!!! Even though you were actually closer to us in California, I will probably see you more often in Boise... for family events. Keep blogging, it is fun to see what your family is doing! How was the 4th of July?
Good luck with the moving. I don't envy you one bit. :-) At least you've had some practice with the whole thing.
I am SHOCKED! and a little sad, but for selfish reasons only. I am SO happy for you to have your home back and with that many other good things. Rance, NO MORE KIDNEY STONES! Can we help with anything, see you once more before you go?
YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! The only person more happy that you are coming back is Beni.
