Sorry it's been so long since I last update this! I get "harassed" by Kay about not updating this regularly. I want to promise I will from now on, but why make promises I can't keep?
So we went to Florida in December to look for a house and also to "vacation" with Todd's parents. That was a productive trip. We found a house we really really liked and we hired a nanny. The house we found is a short sale so we don't know if and when we'll get it. They told us it will take anywhere from 4-6 weeks for the bank to make a decision on whether or not they'll accept our offer. So far it's been 3 weeks. We hope to get this house. If we don't we'll be sad, but know there are so many things out there for sale. We'll find something.
This past Wednesday the packers came to our house and worked Wed. and Thursday and packed up all our crap, I mean stuff. Then Friday(yesterday) the loaders came and loaded all our crap on a truck. So we stayed the night with Joe and Angie. This morning we went back to the house to see if we left anything and finished loading our over night bags. We said goodbye to our friends and neighbors The Kennedy's. That was one of the hardest things I have had to do. I made some really good friends in Springfield. Beth is one of them. I felt like a piece of me was being torn from inside. I really felt my insides hurting when we were saying our goodbyes.
Last night I said goodbye to Robin and that was equally hard. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Kay. I don't know if that is good or bad. I know I felt like I had been through a lot and one more would really break me down. As we were driving away, I just wanted to turn around and go back home. But I didn't.
You're probably thinking 'Why are you telling me this?' Well I don't know. I just know I needed to tell people how hard it was to leave Springfield, Virginia.
We drove about 5 hours and are now in Fayetteville, NC. This is where Todd was born. Fort Bragg.
The girls are still sick, but I've been loading them up on all the available OTC medicines for children. Hope that's OK.
Tomorrow will be a long day. We're going to drive to Jacksonville, Florida. We'll stay the night there and then off to Brandon, Florida. This is where Todd's mom and dad live.
We'll stay there for a few days and then go to Weston, Florida. We got a furnished apartment there and we'll live there until we find a house.
This time I will try to take some pictures and post them on the blog. I promise I'll try....
