Well here we are.

It was a fun trip northward. It started last Friday. There was a rush to get everything packed and in the truck by Saturday. A feat with two kids. We had some great help though – holy moly! Two great housemates, and their wee one, a great father-in-law, and a great business client/friend. I am grateful. Once we got here there was a great group helping us as well. Rocky, Brian, Patty, Andy, Wayne, and possibly others I didn’t know were around. It took about a day to pack, and about a half hour to unload. Thanks for all the help everyone.

All our stuff is in a storage container, and then we rested for a day.

Now it is day two and we are working away…
I’ll post more about that later.

This is the first in a series of posts regarding my move to Dragonfly.

My family and I are moving to Dragonfly.  First there is my lovely wife, for which I must be in love because this challenging move is, in many ways, simply for her.  Next there are my munchkins: Clark (the preschooler) and Emmerich (the baby).

So, off we are to Dragonfly Farm – an intentional community.  Currently, it is very small (4 residents), but if you are to ask Andy (a Dragonflier) there are many (200+) who still identify themselves as Dragonfliers because of the positive impact the place has had on their lives.  More to come on the place later.

The first decision for us was to get rid of our stuff or not.  Because there is certainly enough stuff stored in the main house, there won’t be room for my stuff.  We decided to mostly get rid of our stuff.  Some stuff will remain, but where to put it…

Hence, our new shipping container.  This makes an ideal storage unit.
