I don't think the tears will stop til I pull up in our new driveway. Thanks for all the love, encouragement and VISITS you all will make! And, Anthony, see you soonly!<BR/><BR/>Last night we, and a table full of neighbors, celebrated Samantha's birthday at her favorite restaurant, Carrabba's. That's a tradition SHE will miss!<BR/><BR/>I am at a coffeeshop to download a couple of days worth of email. Someone has to stay at the house at all times while the movers are there so Wayne and I are taking turns. Tomorrow the girls fly out. Tomorrow night we're rounding up the neighbors for a last toast on our barren patio. The truck leaves Monday and we close on 2047 at 3 pm. Monday night we'll be in Dallas.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to try to post along the way but don't know how spotty connections will be. If nothing sooner, you'll hear from me in Columbia!<BR/><BR/>xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9546232.post-1149286248791897352006-06-02T16:10:00.000-06:002006-06-02T16:10:00.000-06:00May the Lord grant you an abudance of grace and pe...May the Lord grant you an abudance of grace and peace as you embark on this new journey.

I have always found moving such a stressful experience with emotions coming from me right and left, I just never thought it would be possible to put them down into some kind of coherence -- and you have. Many blessings on the road and journey ahead.

I loved that house, too. All our babies crawling around on the wood floor. The Christmas trees and birthday parties, late nights after Taft, coffee on the patio, and Ingrid. Your leaving is a domino in my life, too. It means one less reason to return. Eighteen years of friendship in a city of memories, shared friends and spaces. Places we both knew, people we loved, events we shared - births, deaths, marriages, renewal. This is a letting go I did not expect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
