Boxes, Boxes and more Boxes!!

  I'm tired of packing, so I suddenly decided that it was crucial to update our blog!  We've gotten almost everything packed up and are anxiously awaiting Mike and the moving truck which are due in tomorrow.  Why do we have SOOO much junk?  We've moved so much that you would think that we had gotten rid of most of it?!!  No, simplify, simplify.
  Since we are going a fair distance and need to consolidate, seriously if we have it and you want it, come get it!!  We don't have much but it seems to take up a lot of room. 
  To get a hold of us, when we finally get out of everyone's hair, we have a couple of options.  One, call us!  Yep, phones work both ways.  Two, write us.  Email, paper and pen, etc.  Three, skype.  For those old-timers, ask a teenager they'll know.  Our usernames for skype are "themelaniecranston" or "themikecranston".  It's a fun way to see who you are talking to and showoff anything going on.  It helps us stay connected to Mike and his comedian style while he is away.
  Our computers will be sporadic at best until we get settled, but we'll try and let everyone know that we arrived safe and well.
  Thank you to all of our friends and family that have wished us well and encouraged our big adventure.  We feel very loved and missed already.  But remember, we are NOT dying OR falling off the planet.  Our doors are always open for visitors, travelers and people just passing through who need a place to crash.

With love,
The Cranstons

I'm alive!!!

It's official, I lived through this week! 
  Work - done!    I'll miss all of my friends.  But yep, I'm excited to be finished torturing my body for awhile.  Besides, I'm too busy to work!

  Eagle Project - done!  Thanks to all of those who were able to help Galen out.  His project was successfull and I couldn't be more proud of the way he handled things. Now for the paperwork . . .

  Graduation - done!  Yes, Corwin graduated!  It's a miracle!  We are soooo proud of the work that he has done and the effort he put in.  Many thanks to all of those people over the years that have help, inspired, prodded and otherwise helped Corwin out along his road in school.  Now, if we can keep up his momentum!  I love seeing him start to understand his own potential that we have all seen all along.  

  Packing - started!  Yep, I've overdone and have been not feeling well through this weekend, so the packing is at a crawls pace.  But that is why I gave myself an additional week before the big move. 

  The big day is June 15th.  We are out of here!  If I have anything of yours, borrowed or otherwise you better come get it!  If anybody wants anything of mine, come get it!  That way I can fit the rest of our junk in one truck.

  We are very grateful and feel very blessed to have so many friends and family that want to keep in touch with us.  I'll try and do my best to keep pictures coming on here and try and add a few

stories along the way.  Hopefully you can fill in the blanks.

Love always!
