Bittersweet Good byes!
Well this will probably be the last post for a little while. (unless by some chance I have time and internet at the same time ;-)
The kids had their last gym lesson here. They made a t-shirt, cards, and a video for their coach. A few tears shed (some more than others) and off we went.
The packers come tomorrow and the next day to pack and them movers come on Friday. We have just about got everything in the camper that is gonna go with us. A few odds and ends that we will get in there tonight because if it is not put away they WILL pack it. They have actually packed my trash in the can once! You can imagine what an unpleasant surprise that was on the other end. (Eewww!!!)
I am a procrastinator, so of course everything has to be done today. But ya know, it wouldn't really work any other way. We need access to most of this stuff daily so it had to wait til the last minute. Now it looks like rain...geez wouldn't you know it!
I am still feeling a little bittersweet about this move, but it doesn't matter how I feel, it is going to happen anyway. I don't like where we live, but I am a attached the the house. It is the first home we have ever purchased. We worked so hard to gut this place and make it our own. So I am finding it a little harder to say goodbye to this chapter in our lives than I thought I would.
Military life is hard this way. You never really settle anywhere. Our roots are very short so that they can be pulled up and re-rooted at the next place. It is kind of cool in the way that each new place is another new start!
Well I am off to pack some more. Check the lists again. Silently mourn passing my home to another. Look forward to another chapter in my life. I will write when I can and give updates as to where we are and how we are doing. With any luck, we will not have to be in our camper too long. Hopefully we will be able to find a good home for our family and we will sow our shallow roots once again.
