Gearin' Up

So...we are 10 days away from the big move. The junk cleaned out, new things bought. Boxes are packed and stacked to the sky. The entry way and dining room have become make-shift storage units. We are living on minimal dishes and silverware. The kids, minimal clothes(the rest are packed).

The boys are oh so excited to make new friends and be closer to an old one(Taya Sanders, our Taya's name sake). Not to mention they will be able to go to Pepa's football games and sometimes join the boys in the field house(this is a BIG deal).




Odd fact...the closer we get to moving day, the sadder I get. This move is very bitter sweet. This has been our home...a place of love, comfort and safety for the past 2 years. It has felt like HOME, not just a house. Corbin started "real school" here and Ethan soared through tough tests. Taya was an itty bitty thing when we moved in-now she's a big girl.

We have chats every now and again to get the kids pumped up about moving and leaving some friends behind. The other day Taya and I were having a chat and I asked her if she was exited to have her new room. She looked at me so serious and pittiful. She started breathing fast and hard(the seconds before the tears), looked at me and said "But I will miss ya'll". This BROKE my heart. The thought that she could even think that she would leave and we wouldn't be with her. Only a sweet, precious little Taya could be so sensitive.



I love THIS life...couldn't ask for more. Priceless.
