SOLD!

Buying and selling a house should always be a joyous event butso far it has been emotionally draining more than anything. We began the packing process about a month ago and spent last weekend putting the final touches on everything. Come 8am Monday morning when the movers arrived, everything was ready for them to pick up and move. Everything in boxes and all furniture wrapped in bubble wrap. My mom took the kids and Todd was at work all day. The movers loaded and loaded till their trailer was popping at the seems. Who know we had so much stuff but there was so much still not in there being moved. It took them a total of 5 1/2 hrs to load, drive to the storage unit in Weatherford and unload. My job was not done at that time. I still had stuff to take to the Carriage house and stuff to take to my parents. When Todd got off we continued to move more stuff. It took us 3 more truck fulls to get everything to storage. Then we were finally headed to the carriage house at 11pm, to set up and clean up the place to live. It was 2am before we finally laid down. We were EXHAUSTED!!

Moving with children is an adventure. They were totally confused and out of their element for a good 3 days. No one was happy. We were all lacking in sleep and still trying to figure out a good routine. On day 4, I finally felt like we were all good. Everyone slept good, the boys napped good and most importantly everyone was happy. Although our living conditions aren't ideal, we are making due in our 1 bedroom carriage apartment. We are very grateful Mike and Marilyn were so gracious to let us stay here until we find a new home. I am going to look at 2 homes tomorrow!!

I know Parker is ready for a 'real' home. He has asked me on several occasions "When is it time to go home?"...heartbreaking.
