Thanks, BethRags I should say that though I have done the lion's portion of the work relating to preparations for our move, maintaining the house for the move, and preparing for the movers, I must give my husband lots of credit for doing what he has for the sale/move. I must also say that he has handled absolutely everything relating to the "other side" of the move -- meaning the Czech Republic side, which is A LOT! We are lucky that we have received offers of major help from my husband's one sister and her sons. A lot! His sisters and nephews have always been very supportive and helpful to us. That is part of the reason that I look forward to the move. We need that support that we don't get, adequately, from my side of the family.

I also have to give a HUGE shout out to my husband's best friend. He has come to our house countless times to help with sorting, hauling, packing, and other tasks. That friend lives very nearby to us in NJ and will also very frequently be in Brno, Czech Republic. That is part of the reason we chose Brno area over Prague area. My husband will likely do some part-time work for that friend.
