Shedding

Shedding.  Not the kind your dog does, I wish it were pounds but nope, I’m talking about shedding of possessions.  That is the name of our game right now.  Over the past few days we’ve made significant shedding progress and it feels strange!  It has been comical at times when I see Brad throwing more and more into our innocent helpers trucks.  Sad when I look at our empty’ish place.  Exciting when I think of our long term, fun times ahead!  But right this very moment it is a bit surreal, and scary.  No jobs, no cars, a house that’s getting emptier by the day, a quick approaching deadline to be moved out and onto the boat, and our boat slip lease is ending soon as well.

Our agenda this week consists of more shedding, cleaning, wrapping up Vet appointments for the girls, gathering the last of the spare parts for the boat, provisioning and getting moved on to the boat. We’ve got lots to do but have been blessed with so much help from friends and family. Here’s a peek at what’s been happening!

Both cars are sold! Medical kits for dogs and humans are done! 

The girls are unsure about all the boxes and items leaving the house, so they’ve been getting extra attention and treats.

And last but not least, our emtpyish place…I cannot wait to look back at this post someday and laugh at what I was stressed about.  But for now, I will be on the emotional rollercoaster hanging on to Brad tightly.  I will look for the good in each part of the process and continue to count our blessings as we go!

Cheers!!!

  1. It’s the pointy end now, well done! Best of luck for your adventures and we’ll look forward to hearing all about the adventure!

  2. Hi Brad and Sarah. As Rob and I have been reading your blogs our emotions are taking us all over the place, ie., tears, laughter, joy! We can only begin to imagine the excitement and anticipation of the adventure that is about to begin. At the same time, it’s sad for us to know that we won’t be able to have that regular interaction (Rob speaking) of one of the best friends that I’ve ever had! However, we’re anticipating moving forward with the plans of joining up with you in Puerto Vallarta. We love the blogs, and will look forward to vicariously living through your journey. We love you! Rob and Adriana

  3. Hi Brad and nice to meet you Sarah.
    Visited Adrienne and Bob this past weekend and heard about your sailing adventure so I am signing on virtually. I was a classmate of Ace and my husband Jack a classmate of Bob’s.
    Happy sailing!
