And the countdown begins...

We did it – James and I made it through relatively unscathed trying to sell the house and get down to Charlotte. We missed John tremendously but I really did enjoy being selfish with James and getting him all to myself. He really is an amazing little guy. John was able to come home last weekend and we celebrated in between the packing. With an end in sight, I think we both are feeling the weight off of our shoulders.




In about 10 days we will be all packed up and on our way – it is just very surreal. There are so many emotions that are going through me right now I don’t even know where to start.
I'm relieved that the house took less than 2 months to sell -which in this market is nothing short of a miracle.
I'm ecstatic that we will finally be with John – the house is way too quiet without him.
I'm so sad at the thought that we are leaving this life that we built behind - our friends, neighborhood and home have been a blessing to us these past 4 years.
It's heartbreaking that we are moving even farther away from our family – but maybe this time they will be more inclined the visit since it’s a better location than Cleveland.
I'm overwhelmed at everything that needs to be done in 10 short days – it will make this time fly by.
I'm just an emotional mess at the moment – and that’s why God made ice cream :)
