Prep Update

For when we get there

• Shipper chosen
• apartment hunt is on (found out I have a cousin who is a real estate agent! Not only is she an agent, but she has worked with a number of our friends).
• job hunt is on
• made first contact with 2 jeweler supply houses
• started looking into medical stuff for in Israel
• packed all loose beads and most of the findings. Most of the tools are packed and sorted into a small plastic drawer unit that is coming
• final approval by the aliya centre
• bought "plane toys"

On this end

• cleaned out the garage
• sold the dining room set
• sold a bunch of book cases
• mostly pared down our wardrobes to what we want to bring (bagged and given away a mass quantity of clothing)
• left a load of furniture at the curb (most is already gone!)

Still need to

• pack (duh)
• clean out storage closet and under the stairs
• laundry mountain (Although it is way smaller than it was)
• buy the air mattresses we want to bring with us
• but a new laptop and a computer monitor for watching stuff on
• get my laptop repaired (it is going in again tomorrow)
• finish packing my studio stuff
• get sold furniture out of here
• pick up our Visas and ticket vouchers
• buy hockey bags to pack in

I am sure there are a million things I am missing, but this is the current list.
