This week is about starting the process of winding down the Atlanta presence.
Some logistical things – like changing cell phone numbers to the Austin area, changing the work location in all of the corporate systems, talking to the movers, registering the kids for school, and working out the temporary lease on a place in Wimberley.
Some exciting things – working out whether we can get a temporary/quirky little place on the river, letting the family know when we’ll be there, setting up camps and mini-vacations for the summer, and buying the end-of-school-year gifts for the kids (new phone, new game platform).
Some bittersweet things – attending a couple of going away parties that folks are having for us, helping the kids get everywhere in the next few weeks to get their yearbooks signed and friends touched, getting rid of smaller kids’ beds and buying new ones for the new place, taking down all the bird feeders and art around the place.
Lots to do – not nearly enough time between now and June 30 – but we’re ticking down to the move, and we’ll go, ready or not…
