...Cam's hair was long enough that I could braid it

...all of the receipts Cam had when he got back from CA

...Michael lost his job, got another job in Indiana, and put the house up for sale in a span of two weeks

...it is a little bittersweet to leave this house. It is the only house the boys really know, as we have lived here for 17 years!

...I started packing immediately

...I put the sauna up for sale

...we kept taking boxes to the storage unit

...we found the house that we liked in Wanamaker

...I continued daily to go through things, box them up for Goodwill, or box them up for the storage unit

...Lily helped
