Well, sort of. We have been sleeping in our camper for the last 2 nights and again tonight. I am a lot less stressed out now about the move. Of course all is done except for a few last minute things to do in the morning. Jud has to check out of the command and then he will be home and off we will go.
We are hoping for the weather to hold out for us. We have changed our trip plans and will not be going the northern route after all. We figured the southern route will be safer since we are towing a camper and there is rain and snow in the forecast for most of the northern way.
We have pretty much said our good byes. We visited my grandparents today one last time. Saying good bye to them was pretty hard for me. The kids said that I was too emotional, but they don't realize that there is a good chance that I will not see my Grandaddy again. He is very frail and in poor health. My grandmother is not doing the greatest either, but she is better off than he is.
The kids have said good bye to their friends. Braji and Paxton had a sleep over at a friends house last night. We don't really "do" the sleep over thing. We are just not all that comfortable with it. However, this girl has been friends with the kids since almost day one. She used to baby sit them now and again when we first moved here. So the girls were very excited about the sleep over. They came home this morning all smiles and stories. I am happy for them.
So it is time to go to sleep tonight and it is so surreal that I will leave my home tomorrow. I have never felt this way before when we left other places. Maybe it is because this is the first house we ever bought. Maybe it is because it is the first house that we ever were able to "make" our own. (you know, paint, gutting and remodeling, all new appliances...so sad...) Oh, how hard I am finding this. Oh, my sweet home sweet home!
I am going to close here so that I can have these last few moments whilst everyone else is sound asleep, to say good bye to my home. Etch all of the memories made here into my brain so that they will forever be safely tucked away in my heart for future reminiscing. Good night my sweet home, and good bye.
