Less than one month left!
Right now we are sitting at 28 days left. The realization that we are indeed moving has hit full on. Thursday the movers came at 11 and finished by close to 7pm. Friday the temporary furnature got here. It was rather interesting bringing John home each of those days and seeing his reaction. He did quite well and I was impressed. Hunter actually took it the hardest. For two days, all he wanted to do was hide.
Despite the chaos of last week, we took time to have fun this weekend. We went to Tobolino’s to celebrate the neighbor boy’s first birthday and we enjoyed our annual Parish Picnic. It was Father Victor’s last Sunday with our Parish, he is going to Kuwait for a year. September is full of temporary priests coming in on only the weekends for us. We will not get to meet the new priest. We also found out that a dear friend of ours in the choir has cancer and we will not see her again before we leave since she is already back at Walter Reed getting Chemo and radiation treatments for the next 8 months. Tonight marks our going away dinner with the choir as well. It will be our last time at our favorite restaurant, Casa Europa. Our director wanted as many choir members to be able to attend as possible for our farewell, so that is why we are doing it just a few weeks early. Plus, we won’t need a ride this time either. I look forward to good food and great company.
This week we ship out our car in hopes of it getting to our new base before Zachary arrives. Let me tell you, moving while pregnant, makes the days to delivery tick by even faster. Right now I am at 27 weeks and it feels like the end is very, very near. It’s kind of scary in a way. I just hope we are close enough on the wait list to have a home when we get there. I don’t want to have a baby and live in a hotel!
Alright, the rest of the family is awake, time for me to get breakfast ready and start getting things ready for today. It’s going to be a busy one with shipping the car, WIC, getting gas, maybe going to the store one last time with the car, checking mail, choir practice, and a wonderful dinner!
