Our summer has been long and full of activity, so we have put together a quick update for you that covers the main activities of Nikki and her family over the last few months.
In location, location, location we spoke to Janet who is currently in Zambia. And just like that, the alphabet is done!

A TIMELINE OF MY CRAP…
6 months before moving:
“The overly cute lady on TV said to get rid of it if it no longer brings me joy, so I totally purged my crap and now I feel much better.”
3 months before moving:
“None of this crap brings me joy but I know I’ll freak out if I don’t take it.”
6 weeks before moving:
“I really better start getting rid of all this crap. Again.”
1 month before moving:
“I better take this crap. But only this crap. The bare minimum crap.”
2 weeks before moving:
“WHY DO I HAVE THIS MUCH CRAP?!”
1 week before moving:
“None of this crap even matters!”
2 days before moving:
“Why is there so much crap everywhere?! Crap is literally coming out of the woodwork!”
1 day before moving:
“Just throw all of the crap into boxes! Nothing matters anymore!”
Day of move:
“BEGONE CRAP!”
1 week after shipping:
“I don’t care if all that crap falls into the ocean.”
2 weeks after shipping:
“I don’t even remember what my crap looks like.”
4 weeks after shipping:
“Guess all my stuff is about to be here. Better check up on my shipment.”
4 weeks and one day after shipping:
“SO HELP ME GOD IF YOU HARM ONE MOLECULE OF MY BELOVED TREASURES I WILL BURN YOUR SHIPYARD DOWN.”
5 weeks after shipping:
“This is a song I like to call, ‘All I Ever Need and All That I Am is Aboard Yond Ship Afar.’” 🎶🎵🎶
5 and a half weeks after shipping:
“ANOTHER FORM?! Don’t you think my passion is proof enough that I’m not bringing anything here to sell it?”
6 weeks after shipping:
“OH MY GOD MY PRECIOUS BELONGINGS HAVE RETURNED TO ME!” *kisses the truck driver inappropriately*
6 weeks and one day after shipping:
“I MEAN MY GOD WHY DID I BRING ALL THIS CRAP?!?!!!”
