And Then There Were Two

We came to Dallas with only 4 things we really cared about.
1 & 2 . Each Other
3. Hendrix
4. The Blazer

We lost Hendrix along the way, and yesterday the Blazer drove off with its new owner. Michaels mom and Wayne. It was actually more sad then we thought it would be to watch it drive away. It had been a great car for the time we had it.




Along with the Blazer Tanya and Wayne took all of our good guestroom furiture including the bed, and the washer and dryer and some other odds and ends. It became a little more real seeing stuff we aren't taking being loaded into a trailer.

Goodbye Stuff!!

Today we are on the hunt for some new furniture (its cheaper to get here) for our Danish Flat. Things like a smaller couch, bedside tables and a few other little things. Hopefully we will find something.

This week is our last full week in Dallas (we leave Sunday for El Paso) and our schedules are shaping up to be nothing short of a circus. We have 3 dinners planned with friends on different nights. The other three nights we are trying to leave open to do stuff around the apt to get it ready to go for the move after we get back from El Paso. Michael has 5 days left of work here. His last day at Dallas TI will be this coming Friday. He will then have 2 weeks offs which he is increadibly excited for. Nice thing is, he is only using three days of vacation time! The three days before Thanksgiving. Then when we get back, those aren't days off, but are more like "moving days". Once we move Michael has a handful of days he hasn't used that we will be cashing out on. horray!

One other note. We got our contract for our flat and everything looks great. Flemming had told us he would never advise us to sign anything that he wasn't completely comfortable with but by the looks of the contract everything looks fantastic. Michael has a phone meeting with him next week to discuss it all. We will then put down our deposit (3 months rent OUCH) ad first months rent (so yes, at one time, we will basically pay the amount of 4 months rent.. did I say OUCH?)
When we move out we will get that 3 months rent deposit back minus the cost of any repairs and such... So thats that!!

The next few weeks are going to FLY!
