After church, we headed back to the house to finish the last of the cleaning. We called our dads to wish them a Happy Father's Day, and loaded up as much of the stuff as we could. We had some last-minute items left til Monday, but just what we needed to get ready and get out the door. After that, we pretty much hit the sack - it had been a long weekend, and we have a long week in front of us!
Monday morning, we both got up and moving early. Jarrod headed into the office to finish the last of his paperwork at his old command, and I finished up the work the I knew absolutely had to get done while I still had internet access. Kristin McKenzie and the kids came over with breakfast. It was good to see them one last time. Not long after they left, the Norwich utilities guy came to take our last meter reading and shut off the power. After that, there wasn't much point in sticking around - it was hot and muggy without the fans going, and the modem & router don't work without power, so I couldn't work! By the time I finished loading all our last-minute stuff, and double-checking to be sure we didn't forget anything, Jarrod was done at work. He came home, we split up the borrowed items that needed returning, and met back up for lunch before getting on the road. We finally left Norwich around 2pm on Monday, after what seemed like a very full day already!
I'll post again later today with thoughts and photos from our drive yesterday and today. In the meantime, here's some photos of the empty house, and Molly & Ella enjoying the last few minutes in their old backyard.
