On The Road Again...

Well the time has come...tomorrow morning (Sat) we will be leaving Austin at 7:00am. Our flight leaves at 7:00am, we'll be leaving our house around 4:30/5:00am, sounds fun huh? This week has been very busy and many people have asked me how I'm doing. Every time my response was "I'm really okay", that was until last night. Once again...it's something about being with Bo in his room that makes it all hit me. It's something about his first room, our first house, all of the "firsts" that he's done here from crawling to walking to how he loves to play in the cabinets and the pantry. All those sweet little things. Jarrod had to deal with a wife crying most of last night and he was so wonderful and so supportive. I know without a doubt that this is going to be a wonderful move for our family and for Jarrod in regards to his career. I know that God has a wonderful plan for us, but it doesn't make it any easier.

We saw all of our friends today one last time which was fun, but sad all at the same time. Luckily I know we'll be coming back eventually to meet the movers once we close on the house so I'm hoping we'll get to see everyone at least one more time. The rest of today was spent packing and packing and packing...trying to figure out how to pack for two months. We have 6 or 7 suitcases I kid you not!!! I have already shipped over Bo's toys and some of his clothes, thank you to my sweet Aunt Amy who let me use her house as our shipping/storage unit til we get there.

SOME of our luggage, this is missing 2 or 3 bags...I don't think one is under the weight limit!!!



We also bought this handy dandy little thing that you can attach your carseat to. After my last trip with Bo I swore I would not make this trip unless he was in his carseat on the plan and since the company is paying...it's a no brainer. So the dilemma was how to get through the airport with a toddler, carry on bags, stroller, AND a dog!! So this is how Bo will be traveling through the airport...




They also came today to pick up our cars. They will hopefully be delivered in about a week. We will only have one rental so Bo and I better find some things to do within walking distance of our apartment.



We will be living in an apartment in Buckhead, not too shabby huh? If you aren't familiar Buckhead is one of the nicest areas in Atlanta. Honestly I'm surprised they allowed our temporary housing to be there, so I am very excited about that! I will try to update as much as I can. We will not have a computer at the aparment, but when Jarrod gets in at night I'll be able to hope on. Please pray for a safe flight and an easy transition for all of us. Oh, and to top it off not only are we loosing an hour moving to an Eastern Time Zone we also have daylight savings time this weekend so we'll be loosing TWO hours!!! Should be loads of fun with a toddler! I'll be in touch soon!
