recent rundown

SO much to update on that I am just going to write short sentences on recent updates, news and events. Enjoy.

*Movers came and loaded, drove away and landed in Maryland on July 2nd.
*Loaded over 17,ooo lbs of STUFF
*Cried a lot those last few weeks of living in Vegas.
*Cried even harder when dad left us in Maryland and I witnessed my almost 4 year old REALLY sob in my arms for about a half hour. that is the first time i really understood she has real, raw emotions like I feel. I didn't know she could really understand something like that. It BROKE my heart.
* Said goodbye to amazing family and friends and ward
* Worked my bootie off and haven't stopped yet.
Stayed at mom and dad's for a week. Very great week. Horribly sad to leave mom and dad. In fact it is torture.
*Packed over 120 boxes and still have about 40 to unpack.
*Loved having MIL Dori in Vegas helping us pack and then she drove out here with jason and dog and then was here for a few days to REALLY help with the kids and unpacking.
VERY SAD to say goodbye to her. We don't say goodbye anymore.
*Moved into our new townhome. Trusted Bro John to pick it all by himself. He did a great job, I like it a lot and the scenery around is BEAUTIFUL!
*All white cabinets is a HUGE PLUS for me. Nice deck that over looks tons of trees and the front of the house over looks tons also and we watch Squirrels all day run up our tree eating plums from the tree.
*We see little Bambi's and big Bambi's all the time as we drive around our neighborhood.
*Went to the pool 3-5 days last week.
*Love having all sibs here all the time 24-7. Always a treat to have someone just drop by.
*Not sure Why I am listening to MOTAB, always makes me want to cry.
*Went to Harpers Ferry in W. Virginia. Old Civil war town.
*Walked along the C&O canal. BEAUTIFUL!
*Start Owlette camp with Alexis in the morning. She will be riding horses, rockclimbing, arts and crafts, archery, drama and socializing. I will be tending the two munchkins and socializing and getting bit by flying things!

I will post pics soon!

Ugh, i'm so sad and jealous. Thinking of Alexis crying cause of dad makes me want to bawl. That's so cute/sad. I'm excited to see where you live next week. I'm so freakin bummed we're not going to be out there for so long. It's just not fair.

I don't know how much more I can take of you not being around your dad. I bawl like a baby everytime I read your blog. I haven't seen you in about 10 years but I miss you already.

This was such a sad--yet happy post! Why can't your parents move out there? Does Jen have a basement? he-he

I want to see your cute homes! No pressure.. just exited!

Someday I hope to come out there and see for myself how great it is!
