our progress

Most everything is packed.. there are some exceptions we are finishing up today. The carpets have been cleaned and holes patched. Today, is the girls last day of school. We are taking cupcakes and juice to their class rooms to celebrate and let them say good bye. Lots of people are coming around in the next couple of days to say good bye, so its been pretty rough. Adams sister is driving up today to say goodbye and see the girls. Adams dad gets in this afternoon to see everyone and lend a hand with the packing of the truck. My dad gets in tonight to help with the long drive on Sat. Life is as crazy as it gets right now!! Over the last few days, the kids have realized that things are really happening. Makenzie demanded to know why Adam could just not quit his job and we'd stay here. So, we had to sit her down and explain to her WHY quiting your job is not a good idea.

The other day we finished Jacquelines room, taking down her bed, washing walls that sort of thing. The next day, Jacqueline realized that all of her stuff was gone. For the rest of the day, everything we said to her provoked tears. When asked what was wrong she would say, I don't know. After listing off everything that we thought could have been wrong with her, we figured out she was scared and confused over the move. She wasnt sure where all of our stuff would end up, there was too much moving around of the things shes always known. She can't understand what moving is or what Noth Carolina means.

This morning we had another bout of it, she crawled into our bed this morning to cry, proffessing she had no idea why she was sad, or why she was crying she just wanted too.... I understand how she feels!!!

But for today, we don't have time to be sad. We have a million little things to get done and only a half million min to do it all!

Our phone and internet get turned off tomorrow, so I don't know when Ill be able to get everyone caught up on how we are doing. We leave before dawn on sat for this new crazy, scarry exciting adventure!!
