Calculated Upheaval

Moving has a way of burning down the dross
Several think we’re nuts and calculate a loss
Fact: unnecessary stuff exacts a greater cost
I’ve learned to have a loosened grip; anything can be tossed


How often does one married couple get to move?

1. Adam’s Bend Apts, Temple, TX – 1 ½ years (by U-Haul to)
2. Rain Tree Apts, Temple, TX – 6 months (plane)
3. Old Town (dorm), Edinburgh, Scotland – 5 months (car)
4. Abbeyhill (flat), Edinburgh, Scotland – 7 months (bus & cab)
5. Gorgie (Apts), Edinburgh, Scotland – 9 months (walking & car)
6. Slateford (house), Edinburgh, Scotland – 3 months (van)
7. Morningside (house), Edinburgh, Scotland – 10 months
(train & plane)
8. Dallas (parents’ house!), Garland, TX – 2 years (U-Haul)
9. N. Franklin, Marshall (house), Marshall, TX – 2 years (...)
10. University Apartments, East Texas Baptist University,
Marshall, TX – ETA TBA later this summer

It’s our 10th move in just less than 9 years & I’m excited!
Counting down the days!
