We are moving...

On wednesday night we got the news that we had two weeks to get out of our house. The people we have been leasing from are selling the place we have called home for two years. For some odd reason, I was not devistated, nor was I really worried as much as some thought I should be. I felt almost peaceful and I felt like everything would be ok, and we would end up where we were supposed to be. The friendships that I have made here in this neighborhood are not ones that will be cut because of moving, they are that good!

Well, I called my friend on Thursday and told her, because I might start watching her daughter soon for her. She was not happy at all. She was determined to help us find something closer to where we are. I went on with my day, and got the girls ready, seeing that the girls birthday party was that day and we had to get ready for it. I was blow drying hair, and she called me and called me like 5 times. She finally left me a message telling me that I needed to call her ASAP!!! So, I called her on the way to get the Princess Castle Cake. She told me that she had talked to a friend of ours on the phone after talking with me. She had told her our situation, and this friend offered us her home. She is a single mom with two boys, and she has been thinking of renting out her home for the last 5 months. She had come to the conclusion that she would not go looking for someone, but that she should wait until someone came to her! WoW!!! What a blessing! We talked to her that day, and after the party we walked down 4 houses and went through the house. By the end of our visit, we had come to an agreement. It is going to be great to stay in the neighborhood, though we will miss this friend and her boys. The basement is not finished, but is framed, and so we are going to finish it while we are there. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to purchase this beautiful home in a few years.

Now comes the packing... though we are only moving 4 houses away, we still have to pack everything up. Questions pop into my head like, "where to start?" and "what don't I use everyday?" It also comes time to get rid of things that we don't need or use. So, a garage sale might be in our future in the next few weeks... who knows!!!

The realtor came through this house on friday... Baby Jaxson did not like all the cleaning I did before her arrival... but thank heavens for Tylenol PM and sleep!!! Who knew that she would be here for all of 5 minutes!! But, now I am a few steps closer to getting things packed up now that everything is cleaned up.

Wish me luck, and if you have any spare boxes... I could use them!
