Moving Day!

I just don't know how I feel about this. We have moved and are homeless for 8 days. Yesterday was just a myriad of emotions.  For the past two days, we have had packers and movers at our house, and when it was completely empty, it was just so strange to hear the big echo downstairs. I loved 1808 Endicott. I had my children there. I had wonderful neighbors, and great friends just around the corner. And the school was totally awesome. As I look through pictures of my old house right now, I am so homesick. Knowing that we will never drive up to the cul de sac again, park and walk in my red door. Or sit out on my bench and enjoy the birdbath. Or wave hi to the neighbors. I could just cry.

Craig, the kids, dogs and I are in an extended stay suite at Candlewood Inn and Suites. It is fine. It has a laundry room, dishwasher, gym, microwave, and refrigerator. So it works for us.  We close in 8 days on our new home.

I must say that San Antonio is going to be COMPLETELY different from Plano. We are on 1.3 acres of land, in a beautiful neighborhood, and we are out in the country. It is a beautiful scenic drive to get to our house, once you veer off of 35. I love the native plants, oak trees, rocks, cacti, and the landscaping. My sould was just like "AAAHHHH". I can breathe again without running into someone. Plus, we can walk over to the anemities center, which has a pool, workout room, big room for birthdays, and a humongous playground. Did I mention the two ponds to go fishing in?

I am still homesick though. Plano, I miss you. How will I ever find my way around San Antonio. Time to go out and get a GPS.

Our house closing went very smoothly, and I hope the new buyers love my old house as much as we did. I was so thankful that the bushes survived 8 days. We had foundation repair work done, and they yanked out half of my mature 20+ year old bushes. The last day of our night there, it rained so hard that I am sure they will not need watered for the next few days. Being homeless is weird. I feel very nomadic right now.
