Hiatus
Well clearly I haven’t written anything for a week. I have been busy sipping margarita’s on a lovely mexican beach while someone (Fredrico) rubs my toes and feeds me grapes.
HA HA HA HA
Or, I am surrounded by boxes, lists of things to do and emotional outbursts the size of my hair in high school.
We move tomorrow and I don’t know if it is possible but I feel as though my life is both ending and just begining all at the same time. I lie in bed awake at night trying to picture what our new life will be like, unable to visualize one whole picture…just snapshots of change. I officially feel now like I am a visitor in my current home and town. One foot in each world.
I left a perfectly good job and a perfectly beautiful house in a lovely neighborhood, two miles from my parents for an adventure with my husband and children. I am both terrified and thrilled all at the same time.
I have to pick up a moving truck today and tomorrow morning we will fill it with the small remainder of our stuff left at this house. Sometime around 12 noon tomorrow we will pull out of town and head to our new life in Carmel.
I am so thankful for the opportunity and I am dying to see what the grass looks like on the other side of the fence.
P.S. this is the first time since I was 16 that I have been unemployed. More people should try this…
Yeah for being unemployed….ha! What a fun time for your guys and completely scary at the same time. This has been such a cool process to see you go through and i am really excited to see too what life is like on the other side for you guys. Have fun packing the last of Turlock into a truck and make sure you find a good spot on those sandy beaches that we can sit and have those margaritas when I come to visit.
Love you….Happy Moving!
