Moving is a headache even under the best circumstances. The Holmes-Rahe Stress scale gives change in residence only 20 out of a possible 100 stress points, but change in responsibilities at work gets a 29! A child leaving home also rates 29. Now, Tara isn't leaving us, but we are leaving her. Then we got to add Christa, Laura, Dewayne, John, Haydn, Louise, and Ava. At 29 each! A major mortgage rates 32! I didn't see what selling a house rates, but it's got to be just as stressful.
Let's see: 20+29+232+32+32= 345!! You'll probably find Jackie and me in the looney bin or the hospital before this is over! ;-)
Saying goodbye to our church family isn't listed. Oh well, the Lord is with us (1 Pet. 5:8).

Phil, we wish you and your family the best. God bless. dell kimberly
I know how you feel. It was even better today with the furnace going out and a 600 dollar bill. It was my first welcome to home ownership. You are in my prayers.
