Here’s my birthday cheesecake. I used the basic recipe in The Joy of Cooking. It was super duper yummy.
Now, for the real reason for this post:
The movers and packers will be here Thursday. That leaves me two days with a washer and dryer. And two days to get things in order and ready for our summer of adventure. By May 31st we will be moved in to a little apartment in Alabama, where we will stay for a month. In July we will make our way to Denver for a short house hunting and in-processing stay, then will be in California by July 21st. We’ll be there until September and I’m hoping we’ll have lots of cool beach treasures and stories of camping and a trip to Legoland to show for it.
All this means that we will have to live with only the things we can fit in our cars. for. four. months. I’ve got toys whittled down to a small tub of little animals, another of wooden blocks, and another of legos. Today my mission is to fit the kitchen into a Rubbermaid tub, wash all possible laundry, and get clothes under control. There’s camping gear and books and computers and bicycles…
Anyway, I’m not going to be posting here for a few weeks. I’ll be back sometime in June with news of packing, travel, and apartment living with 4 kids…
Wish us luck!
I’m not very happy about all of this going away stuff.
That raspberry cheesecake looks luscious.
Oh Jess! What a time!! BIG HUGS!!!! I will miss you! I’m sure the kids will love the adventure!
Lots of prayers being sent up for you and your family!
