and by that, I mean, it's almost time for me to move. I have been here at the house cleaning and finishing up the packing and shipping. It's been really hard to motivate myself because I know if I finish, it will be time to go. But I also know that if I don't finish, it will still be time to go. Steve and Angie came out twice this past week to help get me motivated and to help move some of the big stuff to the storage unit. I am so blessed to have this family who didn't have to be a part of my life, but chose too, and who loves me and wants me to succeed., even if it means moving across the ocean for a few years.
Funny moving story...
I still have Bubba's bassinett from when I had him for the two weeks. My mom had asked me if I wanted to let it go yet and I said no. With all of the changes and everything going on right now, I just couldn't bring myself to let it go yet. I put it in the shed, behind the house, and would see it when I went out there and remember back to the two weeks I was a mommy. I loved it! I know I probably won't ever use it again and for the next couple of years it is going to be in storage but....it's one of my treasures. Sorry...I'm rambling. Steve and I loaded up the truck and headed to the storage unit on Power and Rittenhouse. We got to Cloud Rd. and Steve realized something fell out. I had a feeling it was the bassinett but didn't say anything. We turned around and he darted through some traffic to save the fallen item. When he got back in I asked him what fell out and he said, "A walker or something." I knew it was the bassinett. I told him it was Bubba's and that I couldn't part with it yet. (Now, I did not tell him this to make him feel bad or anything like that. I told him because I thought it was a little funny that that is what fell out.) So, we continue driving to the storage unit. We get there and as I am unlocking both of the units, Steve says, "OH NO! It fell out again!!" I just had to laugh!!!!!! He felt so dang bad and I felt bad that he felt bad! I told him it was okay and that I probably would never use it again. The only part that had fallen out was the metal frame of the bed. I had taken it apart and put the little pad and mobile and whatnots in a bag, that didn't fall out. I really was okay without it! When we were done putting all of the stuff in the units, he said, "OK, now we are on a mission! I think I know where it fell out." So on the way back he slowed down near Rancho Jardines and TAH-DAH!!!! Sitting right there was the frame! I was so happy! It made me chuckle that we lost it TWO times within a mile!!!!
I keep telling myself that I can come back and visit and we can always Skype if we want to/need to talk. I love this family and wouldn't change anything that has happened in the last 2 years for anything!
