Stuff in a 20 Foot Container

We are so grateful for all the help we got the past couple of days getting packed and moved out of our house in Honolulu.  Yesterday, we had a crew of guys loading up all the stuff in our house into a 17" U-Haul truck and also into Cory Ching's fathers Honda Odyssey.  What an amazing feat it was to witness.  It was a very focused effort that took 7 years of accumulated stuff and loaded it all up in an hour and a half.  I have mixed emotions about the upcoming move.  About a year ago when we committed ourselves to this move, it seemed so clear why we were doing it.  Over the past few months, however, we've become very attached to life on O‘ahu and to all of our friends here. It's been a really fabulous summer for us.  Amidst the packing and getting ready to go, we've had a lot of time to really enjoy our time.  There were a lot of trips to the beach, dinners out with friends, staying up late watching some movie from Netflix, and getting to just hang out with Bodhi.  I was telling Kim the other day while we were in the whirlwind of getting all those last minute things packed up that we are riding a wave and we have to just go with it.  There is no pulling out now.  Even if we feel like we may be getting in over our heads, we have to go with the ride.  With that said, I must say the entire move has been going incredibly smooth.  We gotten just incredible support from people.  Thank you.
