update

Well I suppose I should write you all an update. On the 23rd of Jan. Dusti's family left. I spent all day on that day with them and it was alot of fun. Saying goodbye was a bit rough but the kids handled it much better than I did, but I patted myself on the back for not crying in front of them. lol All in all I have handled it much better than I thought I would. Sure there have been moments where I feel sad but those tend to pass pretty quickly. On a funny note, after moving in a unpacking I have realized that I do not own a rotary cutter, mat, or ruler. I have always used moms or dusti's. All of you quilters out there share my pain. lol. Well that is all I have for today. Hope all are doing well.

Tommorrow is when Dusti and Scotts family heads north. I think it is hitting me pretty hard tonight. I have managed not to think about it most of today, (thank you mom and keely), but not working anymore. Well just wanted to write a short update. Might try and update tommorrow but am pretty much going to be a zombie. I love you all.

Saying Goodbye

Well today we are heading out to the temporary lodging site that Dusti and Scott are staying at before they head north. They are all out of their house now. Mike and I and the girls will be going out there today for a BBQ. The girls decorated cupcakes. They will be saying goodbye to Dusti's kids, who they have only known for a short time but have become friends with. This won't be the last time I see them but it will be the last time we have a good long visit. While I look ahead down the path I have chosen I am so happy and excited, yet I am still going to miss Dusti and Scotts family so much.

A New Chapter

Well I am starting a new chapter in my life today. Yesterday I officially was moved into Mike's house. Although I can already name five things that I have left at Dusti's house. lol Anyways I am finding myself a little adrift today. I woke up and with Mike and got him and Hailey out the door this morning. Then (shhh don't tell) went back to bed for an hour. Hey, it was 6am and I am a weeny when it comes to sleep. I woke up and decided to face the day, which ment figuring out which box I had packed my work around the house pants into. Of course it was the last box I opened. After finally getting that out of the way I decided to tackle the house work for the day. Got that done. Now it comes to the hard part. I need to unpack, honestly navigating around boxes not so fun. I didn't even think about this but now my major problem is figuring out how to blend our stuff together. I was planning on getting all the unpacking done during the days this week but now I realize Mike is gonna need to be here for it. I know he won't mind, but I had hoped to just get it done. So now that I have to wait for him I am adrift. At least I can do laundry to keep me busy.
Anyways this whole experience is going to be one of learning, I can see that right now. Hopefully I can survive with grace...lol sure... I am very happy right now though and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
So keep an eye out for more of my adventures in figuring this all out.
