Packed, ready and on our way

It was tough, I'm not going to lie to you. It seemed like we kept finding tiny little things that needed to be put in a box of other tiny little things that were unrelated to each other. I wonder if I'll ever find my clerical collars or our alarm clock. We were a little behind schedule, but left Newnan and Atlanta in rain that didn't let up until we arrived at my mother's in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky--my old kentucky home, or this one. The rain seemed like a good omen and certainly put us in a Seattle frame of mind. We also drove through three Starbucks between Newnan and Mt. Sterling. When there's a Starbucks in Dalton, Ga., you can rest assured they're taking over the world.
Will is one of the boxes duct-taped to the top of the car (see photo above); we're just not sure which one it is.
On a serious note, we're going to miss so many people in Newnan and in Atlanta. New friends and people we've known for a long time and we take you with us in our hearts.

Have a great trip, we can hardly wait until you make it out here to Mercer Island! Right now we're having weather in th 70-80's! Really hot for us, but mild for you!
