August News
This month was definitely moving month! I did 3 moves!
One for me, one for Sara, and one for Maggie.
My family in Italy said goodbye to Maggie and she flew to WA!
I visited with friends, Sara, & Maggie while my last Airbnb bookings finished up.
Meanwhile in Italy, John started school with our kids and we finally received our Permesso di Soggiorno!
I oversaw our last military move from WA to TX into a storage unit and arranged for the estate sale to haul the other 50% of what we owned off the property. Graham, our realtor and friend, arranged for some minor renovations on the house to be done as well. We will list it for sale on Sept. 5th!
I visited church, celebrated Sara’s 22nd birthday, and visited the beach as often as I could.
I took Maggie on her class trip to the Cascades with some of her closest friends.
We helped Sara clean and organize and pack up her trailer to get ready for the fall and school. She started LPU online.
Sara, Maggie, and I flew to CA and met Mary to move Maggie into her dorm room at Life Pacific University. I now have two in college.
We visited our friends, the Gustafson’s, in Valley Center, CA before saying goodbye to my family and flying home to Italy… FINALLY!
