I know, I know.  I just posted a few days ago, but we are soon entering single digits.  I think I know now what it feels like as a fluid reaches the small exit of a funnel.  Things begin to really start to spin wildly . . . like my brain is, wondering if we are remembering everything.

This week is full of last minute things to do.  We get to have one more shot for Hepatitis and then we'll be done.  We also get to move most of the stuff we have in our temporary housing back to our old house for 18 months of storage.  Does moving ever end?  We know we'll be moving again when we return, so I guess that we should just get used to it.

                                       Allred moving day.  Estonia or Bust!

I posted this last time, but it's our last time to do so.  In case anyone was wondering, we speak here locally on May 29th at 11:00 AM at the Mesa East Stake Center, 2228 E. Brown Rd, Mesa, AZ 85213.  For those unable to attend, there is a "Family" social/say your goodbyes to be hosted by the Porter family that evening at 6:30 PM, come and go.  Their house is at 623 N. Yale in Mesa.  We would love to see you all before we leave.

P.S.  If anyone is interested in having your email on our mailing list, please drop us a line, a note, a memo, a message or a carrier pigeon and we will add you.

That's right.  Just 22 more days until we enter the MTC in Provo on June 6th.  We're just a bit anxious, can you tell?  

Now that the countdown is getting serious, we are really trying to have everything in order.  The past few weeks have been filled with shopping, shopping and yet, more shopping - The three things I love most . . . said no man ever.  So, I let MaryAnn do it.  She has found some excellent bargains and has saved us many hundreds of dollars.  It turns out that my clothing needs were a lot more costly that hers.  She may have more "outfits" than I do, but my two "outfits" [new suits] were not cheap.  But we're not done yet.  We get to buy winter coats, and all the necessary accessories,  when we arrive in Tallinn.
