....in the previous post, has turned into a storage unit!! The boxes are getting filled, there are stacks of "to be boxed", "to be donated", "to be trashed", everything is off the walls downstairs and the holes are patched, it officially looks like we are moving now! ONE MONTH from today! I am so thankful I don't have the pack-rat gene - while going through things and getting things wrapped up, I'm so glad we don't have a lot of STUFF! It clutters my life and takes my focus away from the things that are important to me - my family!!!
We've finally gotten really excited about the move, there were a few weeks we were really stressed, and wondered when it would all be over...we had some repairs to make here for the new family moving in, some repairs we hoped would be taken care of at our new house, and of course - we've worked the numbers a zillion times - the scariest part.
I'm over my attachment to this house - it will always be so very special to us - so many wonderful memories, but we'll make many many more in our new home...and the next family that moves in will have wonderful moments here as well. My friends have laughed at me when I called them crying that I was taking my girls away from their home, that I knew where all the lizards lived that Madelyn and I would hunt for, that we were leaving our favorite neighbors...I was an emotional mess!
One thing that helped me over the "attachment hump" was that I found out the couple moving in also has a little girl and I'm sure they appreciated Madelyn & Emily's rooms when they saw them. I'm glad there will be another little girl running through the house with squeals and giggles. It's been a great house for us, and it will be for it's new family as well!
Madelyn is in her last few days of preschool - only 3 days left after today. Then she'll be in the preschool summer camp, which works out great since I'll be able to get some last minute packing done the week before we move. Emily's session at Romp N Roll is about to end as well, it's been so fun to be with her there - special time for the two of us to play :)
Will post more soon!!!

So, what do you mean by, the "pack-rat" gene skipped you? That I have it?!? Or maybe Mom has it!?! Well, whichever, or both, it is now your mission to make sure it skips Madelyn AND Emily. Can't wait to see your new home! Love you Sis!!
