Every day brings us a step closer to moving to England! Friday I had my biometrics appointment. They digitally scanned my digits (fingers) and my face. One interesting tidbit I learned is that two of my fingerprints were damaged such that they had to take several scans of each before an acceptable scan was made. The reason: typing on computer keyboards. That's right. The girl scanning my fingerprints in asked if I worked on a computer all day, and when I replied that I did, she said that she could tell because I had several damaged fingerprints. Who knew? So weird.
Today DH and I made major progress towards getting the house ready (and thus ourselves) for someone else to occupy. We cleaned out the garage. Three trips to the dump and some serious dust induced sneezing later, the garage looks like a room. It's pretty impressive. There is still a lot of stuff in there that I need to get rid of (old paint cans, for example) but we're significantly closer to having a tidy garage.
For those keeping score:
The garage - about 75% complete
The basement - about 50% complete.
The deck - about 75% complete
The yard - about 50% complete
The interior of the house - about 0% complete.
I did pack two boxes of books that we intend to ship over with us. That leaves 6 bookshelves full of books that I need to sort for storage and selling. There's still major paper records sorting and shredding that needs to be done, furniture that needs to be figured out (ship, store, donate, or sell), clothing that needs to be sorted through, linens and things that need to be sorted...
Oh, the list goes on and on.

The big question is: are you selling or renting?
We're renting - at least to start with (for the first year). There are five houses for sale in our immediate neighborhood alone! Plus, we want to have the house to come back to just in case we hate England (not likely, but just to be on the safe side)
