and the sign goes up...

Yes, the move is real,

the FOR SALE sign went up in the yard.

The boxes are being found a filled.

Now that we have Momma set up at the manor

for her medications and have all her emergency plans

in order, I have no misgivings about this move.

Especially on this day when I miss Bean so much

and am going to go there tonight and sleep until tomorrow.

I look forward to the day when a holiday comes

and it's just a matter of riding down Bayou Jacob Road

to see her and her parentals.

Until a trip to see Gypsy baby is 20 minutes a way

but will also involve a little shopping in Red Stick.

Last week, as Gypsy Baby, the Kelmiester and I

checked out all these little shops in BR I told

GB, "MY Gosh, Gyspy, this opens up a whole new world to us!"

We remember our trips when she was younger and

we would go on adventures. Never knew where we were

going or where we would end up.

Those days can come alive again, with the addition

of KD, Bean, and Kelmiester, and even Kd's momma!

"A whole new world" as The Little Mermaid would sing.

As I pack boxes it seems so easy this time.

No concerns of money as to if we should do this or not.

No worries of new jobs or if this move will make it

harder for HOBL to get to work.

Some sadness about leaving all the friends I have made here

and that I will be an hour more away from my family.

Yet, all in all, it seems easy. Then I realize

it really is easy this time, physically because this

is the first time in the last 28 years that we pack

but don't have any kiddies to pack.

Never thought I would be this excited to move

into a big house again. I love my little home

here in Thibodaux and if I could have moved this home

on water somewhere I would have.

But I am excited about this home. I love decorating

with flea market and garage sale finds.

I had stopped decorating for all the holidays

and stopped buying things I loved because there was no place

for it. This new, bigger home, has me excited for

this again. Wanting to hit the flea market, garage sale

and estate sale streets again.

This move is going to be good for me, good for my spirit.

I am getting very anxious!

If we cannot get this done for the 20th I have a feeling

I may just cry....
