It’s been so crazy – packing, moving things into the new house, painting the new house. . .tomorrow it’s going to be mostly over.

Today, our friends Mike and Ellen came over and helped us pack for hours!  The Home and School and some of the other teachers and moms gave me speeches and awards and lots of lovely sentiments (Oh, yeah, I had the waterworks going there.)  Everyone has been so wonderful, and it really is both sad and uplifting to know that I’m going to be missed.  I’ve moved a lot of times, but that has never happened.  Wow.  The kids are sad and excited, hubby is. . .sore.  I’m just wanting the work part to be over, and the fun part of getting into the new house and inviting friends over for beach weekends.  (This, in November.  I’m such an optimist.)
