Get Ready ... Get Set ...

Getting things ready to go.  Clearing out an amazing amount of junk we "thought" we needed ...  Shane is feeling a little like a hoarder and I want to agree with him some days.  I cannot believe the amount of sentiment we attach to objects and how much we hang on to those things.  "You can't get rid of that pen ... it belonged to so and so ..."  Really?  I am learning to let go of the "things" and hold tighter to the people who are in my life while they are in it.  This move is so much more than a move.  It is enlightening and very theraputic.

The girls will be keeping journals and writing their own segments on this blog.  We are playing with names for their segments. 

Once we hit the road, I will send out updates to Facebook and to e-mail.  Anyone that really knows me knows that I love to take pictures, which explains the title of this blog.  We will be taking lots of pictures and posting the best of the best.  We hope to see the Painted Desert, the Grand Canyon, and several really cool things on our way to California.  We will be driving mostly on Route 66 and we will be stopping at many of the roadside attractions along the way (also a reason for the name ... cheesey).  

Wish us luck! 

Say Cheese ... Jennifer
