Getting Closer

10 Days until the Move Seriously? 10 days? That's it? OMG...

Well, we were supposed to close on our house in Kansas today but because the current owner neglected some things in the contract (and fouled up some others) we're looking at tomorrow as a new close date. Can't something in this process go easily? Something...anything.

I'm beginning to get nervous about this move. Learning a new town, meeting new people, getting the kids into a new school, finding new doctors, unpacking...I'm just freaking out a little. When we left Iowa, I didn't even think twice. We hopped into the car and went to the airport and that was that. I can imagine that I'm going to be a wreck all of the way to the airport thinking of the people I didn't say goodbye to and wondering if I'll ever be back. I really hadn't expected to love it here as much as I do. I'm just sad.

Aww, Barb. It'll be ok. You already know that some of the people Mike works with are nice. There will be tons of kids on your street and tons of mommies too. You know from past experience that you just have to get yourself involved. I think it would be exciting too. Just remember to breathe.

I know it'll be okay...I just don't know why this is so hard. I start crying just thinking about it. This is a good thing and I'm just so sad.

It's so hard because you're going so far away from ME! (And all the other friends you've made.) Fortunately, there's blogging, so we won't drop out of touch entirely! I haven't seen anything of you for AGES, but I'll still miss not having you in town.

Sara, we really need to get together in the next few days so that I can see that baby!

Like I was telling Mike, I'm at that point here where I go to the store and 95% of the time, I run into someone that I know. It took so much work to be able to get to this point and I know I'm going to have to do it all over again! Ugh.
