This morning the movers arrived to put all of our belongings on a truck to Kentucky. We stayed up until the wee hours to get the last things done and truth be told, it would not have happened were it not for Lewis and Alexandra who jumped in and said “we are not leaving till its all done”. They are the wind under our sails right now. Spending the past 6 days with them has been wonderful.
This week we were surrounded by love and friends as people dropped by to bring us a meal and spend a few minutes with us among our moving mess. Late nights and days ran into each other as we ran about getting everything done. There were many a day when we had no clue what day of the week it was. We had a moving sale this weekend and sold so much stuff. I finally achieved my goal of getting my yarn and fabric stash pared down 🙂 and found new homes for every one of our 34 hens and roosters. I got to hold baby Lewie lots and lots and we even took a little nap under a tree.
Nate and Charlei spent the weekend and kept our bellies full with lots of amazing homemade meals and help wherever we needed it. Knowing that we would not be able to spend time together for a while, we cherished every moment with them. There was even time to fly a kite which we found in the garage. It was perfectly windy enough and it was a perfect end to a stressful but fun weekend.
We should be in our new home by Wednesday. I beg your prayers for a safe arrival and trip. We have had everything possible happen to us this week and really need some peace from here on out.
We tucked everyone in their beds, for the last time in this house and then I sat in the rocker in Matthews little nursery and I remembered all the nights that we sat here rocking, together. Many sleepless, wonderful, sweet nights. Sigh. I rocked him for an hour with a lump in my throat, just the two of us, my babe and I.
It is so very hard to leave home.
