On the Move

I will get pictures up I will get pictures up..... We have officially left our house. Today we walked through the hallow house for the last time. With any move there are bitter sweet moments. All of a sudden the irritations of the place fall away and that rose colored filter comes into view. I looked around and thought of all the family dinners, the times I heated baby bottles in the middle of the night, when I walked in and toured the house upon our arrival 2years ago. it is amazing how much stuff the aura of a house can hold. This is the first and only house P & S have known..... Where H left to go to Kindergarten, where he learned to ride a bike without training wheels, where he picked flowers from the yard for me. Where T had a chance to walk to school by himself or go to the park with friends. never mind the annoying handle on the bathroom cabinet than no workman could fix ( nor I) Never mind the leaky windows and the window that sticks. While military lives up root us often no matter where we roam a part of us is left behind, the roots run deep.

I have been a frazzled crazy lady for this past week Monday and Tuesday saw another mover ( the boat movers) come and go with all our stuff... I almost went postal on a packer who didn't use paper on a porcelain piece.... but Sam talked me off the ledge and the packer gave me some space. I wasn't in charge and could tell everyone how to do it my way....:) see I can laugh at myself. Although they were the fastest packers we have ever had they were the most annoying :) and hope my stuff makes it there safe they were a bit wild. Wednesday saw a cleaning frenzy and a slew of errands and frantic goodbyes. Thursday was the peak of the craze with the third and final installment of movers ( this batch was literally toothless) nice a bit off kilter but nice....... Friday has come we have left our house we are truly on the move . The keys turned in, goodbyes said, stuff cleaned and 4 little kids finally asleep.

I fear for the poor plane we will fly on 6 people and 12 pieces of luggage we are quite a sight. I am a streamlined traveler/packer... and yet we are quite the sight. I laugh at the days I got around with one bag...... 4 kids later and 12 pieces of luggage we will make any TSA faint ..hahahahahahha

I of course have oddles of pictures to share for the week I have to figure out how to get them up to this laptop.... I am a mobile blogger now watch out world :)
