moving stuff.

making lots of travel plans
which means lots of facebooking and lots of emailing and lots of phone calls.

the mover/packer company came today to asses.
that was exciting and sad all at the same crashing moment.

still shoving appointments of any kind I can, IN.
dentists, check ups, hair cuts, eyes, etc....
I know these doctors/beauticians/friends and don't want to have to find new ones as soo as we get there, I want time to hear from others, which means I'll need time to meet those 'others' first!

saying goodbye.
saw a gal that was next to us in the NICU with Nora and Sophie, for the first time since we were all in the NICU three years ago,
we were both in Target and recognized each other right away -
saw a gal that came to the house almost everyday to help us when Nora and Sophie were little and hadn't seen her in a very long time either.
dinner with close friends, dinner with friends that mean a lot to us, dinner with work friends, church friends, neighborhood friends, best friends.....
each Tuesday night Bible study I go to gets harder and harder.

cleaning.
everything.
I don't want to have a lot to do that last day.

gathering.
records, papers, lists, my brain....stuff.

exactly one month from today we will be in our new town.
I'm gonna go cry now.
Happy and sad tears....all at the same time.
excuse me.

I haven't been responding to these moving posts since I just want to bury my head in the sand like an ostrich and wish it would go away! But, I do feel for you! It is so hard to leave somewhere where you have made connections for so long.

overwhelming huh? especially with four little ones in tow...let me know how that goes for ya! Glad you will be my "other" and will let me know about dentists, hair cut ladies, etc when we get there! Ok, just being a little optimistic! How could they not want Jon on their team?

I've been here for almost 2 years and still cry those same set of tears. As much as you've moved, it never gets easier, huh? Maybe more organized...but never less emotional on any level....love you.
