Moving Home: What is the timing on everything?

Plenty of people have been asking us about the timing of the move home. Here are the facts:

1. David is already back in the U.S. and has started his new job with Lufthansa Cargo and is enjoying it.
2. We've been trying to sell off items we cannot take home, such as German kitchen appliances, a TV, a vacuum cleaner, some of our German armoires, a computer printer. We've already sold our minivan, but we still need to find a good home for Micaela's 5 newts.
3. The kids last day of school is June 25th.
4. Micaela, James and I will attend a Green Day Concert July 1st.
5. Packers come to do a pre-packing July 2nd.
6. David flies back to Germany to help with the final packing.
7. We will fly home to the U.S. sometime around July 11.
8. We all live in a 2-bedroom apartment with some rental furniture until we have bought a house and moved in.
9. Kids start school in Georgia August 9th. They will have a short summer. Depending on whether or not we own a house or know which school district we will be moving into, they may need to switch schools in September/October.
10. We try to wait patiently for our belongings to arrive from Germany. It usually takes 6 weeks.

David just moved yesterday from a hotel into the 2-bedroom apartment. He was waiting for the rental furniture to be delivered in the evening when he got a phone call. The furniture people were running behind and would he like to reschedule? He said no, he would wait. He got a call a half an hour later saying that one of the drivers had a death in the family and that they would have to reschedule. David wrote in his e-mail, "The timing is very suspect. I had to sleep on the floor."

I wrote back railing against the injustices of the world. Poor thing. Then he sent me back an e-mail with the subject line, "I feel better now." Here is what I saw when I opened the e-mail.

For you poor unfortunate souls who are not familiar with the best fastfood restaurant ever, David sent us a picture of his chicken biscuit breakfast from Chik-fil-A.

The kids and I all agreed that he is very cruel to tease us like that.
