My life feels a bit surreal right now. As I sit writing this I picture a scene devastated by a tornado, debris thrown about and people crying over lost homes and loved ones, then looking down at the ground and seeing a seedling growing in the midst of the chaos. This is what my life feels like at this moment. Most know that our family is dealing with the loss of a loved one this morning, it's tragic and heartbreaking and leaves me at a loss for those of us left behind to pick up the pieces of the lives of the children left with out a father. But in the midst of this stormy day in our lives while I was on the phone hearing the news of our loved one, Adam received a phone call from Charlotte. It seems that we are on our way to Charlotte on Wed. Thursday Adam is to have his "interview" which at this point is more for show. They have his offer letter waiting for him to sign when he arrives. We will be in Charlotte for a few days, until Sat or Sunday I believe to look around at the area and decide on a home. I wish I were more excited, this is the news we've been waiting on for a few weeks. I am sure in a few days, this too shall pass, healing will begin and reality will slap me in the face in the form of a hundred moving boxes! We have three houses we are going to look at around the Charlotte area. Adam will of course sign the offer letter, assuming they have the money part figured out. That is a figure for our move. With everything falling into place, it looks like we are going to be moving on the 21st of Feb. With us loading the moving truck on the 20th (Its a Friday-if you'd like to help load a 26ft moving truck-we'd love to have you) My dad will be flying out to help with the driving part of the move which will be so helpful. We will be spending a few days in Oklahoma so the kids can see everyone there and then we will be heading to Charlotte the next weekend, again dragging my dad with us so he can help unload hehehe... My step dad and mom have volunteered to come down and help unpack and sort-it's an 8 hr drive for them... so things seem to be falling into place!
I guess this proves that even in your grief, life truly does keep moving forward.
The next few weeks are going to be a whirlwind of activity and lets face is chaos! We understand that everyone wants to spend time with us before we leave. I know a couple of people have expressed a desire to do so. We will work our calender around the best we can to allow for that time. If you have a date or something in mind. Please let me know asap. This weekend we are waiting on news of services so I can't make plans yet and next weekend we will be gone.
YAY For good news!
