So… Yeah…We’re Really Doing This Thing

by

Who’s tired of me talking about moving? I know I am.

But, here we go again.

Yesterday was mine and the boys’ last FULL day in Texas. We are hittin’ the road after lunch today.

I went to check on things at the “old” house yesterday (yes, there’s still work being done there) and I cried as I drove away (the boys were hanging out with their uncle at the time). I honestly haven’t cried that much during this whole process but for some reason driving away from the house for the last time really got to me. I guess it just finally hit me that we ARE actually leaving. Kinda like a ton of bricks.

But this was all after I had a wonderful lunch with my friend Teri who I had not seen in a while. It was so lovely to hang out with her and be reminded of what a sweetie she is.

Teri and I met back in 1999 while working together and I was drawn to her bubbly and fun personality. We’ve managed to stay friends all these years even though she left for another job in 2000. But friends like her are SO worth it. She really is one of the sweetest people I know. I miss her already.


Also before my little breakdown I was driving back from our lunch and I decided to take some self pictures in the car of myself (again, no boys with me, oh and also, sitting at LONG red light…). My hair is taking a little getting used to but I think I do really like it and it’s so much cooler and takes much less time to dry.

So here’s me, the day before I become a resident of Louisiana, sportin’ my new ‘do.

I’ll see y’all on the other side of the border…

    I LOVE your new haircut and style. Super Sassy, love it!

  8. I remember moving out of my childhood home after i got married and how sad i was. I spent 18 years of my life in that home and it surprised me at how sad it was to leave all those memories behind to start my new life.

    I will be praying for you guys as you travel! Take care and I cant wait to hear of your arrival!

  10. I’m loving your new haircut…and you have the cutest maternity clothes ever! 🙂

    I can’t wait to see you in a few weeks! 🙂

  12. LOVE your new haircut! Good luck! Safe and happy travels… can’t wait to read all about you getting settled in to your new place, where lots of wonderful new memories will be made! 🙂

  13. So, I know I don’t ever comment but I had to get it out. After blubbering for an hour after you left our house I think I have come to grips with our long distance frienship. No, not really. We will miss you guys sooooooo much. I will do my very best to get my blog up and running so you can keep track of you god-son that way. Love you much! XOXOXO

  19. I hope you’re enjoying your new digs, though I cry everytime we have moved too. You just get so attached, and of course emotional, especially with the chaos of moving.

    And may I say that I love your hair! I would love to have that cut too.

  20. I love your hair! And I know you must be feeling all sorts of emotions as you all head on this new adventure but I know it’s all going to work out just fine.

    Hugs to you and can’t wait to hear from you on the other side!

  26. Moves are always so much harder when they are interstate……..saying goodbye is just no fun. Wishing you a seamless move……..and be sure not to overdo it!
