We're Here!

Okay, I know it's been a while but we've had so much going on so here goes! We made it to Tennessee on January 18, at about 1:45. Thanks to some wonderful help we had the truck unpacked in a little over two hours. When we told Jillian we were moving to TN, she was so excited about getting snow. Not wanting to get her hopes up we told her that it doesn't always snow just because we want it too! Well, wouldn't you know it, it snowed the first night we were here! Not enough to cancel schools but just enough for a very, very light dusting.

A lot of things have changed since we moved. 1. Jackson moved to a big boy bed. He has done wonderful, only getting out twice in a week! 2. Jillian and Jackson started preschool/daycare. They love it! The first day Jillian was mad when she had to leave. She already has a "best friend", Lucy! 3. I started work. I love it as well! We've been busy which helps make the day go by faster, plus if I start missing the kids too much I just walk down the hall and there they are! Jeremy started a new job, too. He is starting to like it better day by day. It has been a little hard jumping in two weeks after the start of the semester, but it's getting easier.

We miss everyone from home terribly, but have enjoyed being with Kate, Darin and the kids! Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support! It means so much to us! A very special thanks to: Mom, Dad, Gran, Grandmomma, Grandaddy, Uncle Mike, Aunt Joni, Uncle Greg, Meredith, Lee, Elisabeth, Kevin, Lacretia, Chris, Kate, Darin, Uncle Mike, Danny, Marti, Bobby and Karen, for helping us pack the truck and then unpack the truck! We love you!

I promise I'll post pictures soon!!!

Packing, Packing, Packing...

We have two more days to pack and one day to load the truck before we leave! Am I panicking yet? Well I wasn't until Jeremy got home today. We spent this afternoon taking down Christmas lights! Yes, I know it's January 14, but it's been raining and we had to let them dry off. (Not to mention that we got back Monday from our third trip in three weeks to Tennessee!) The Christmas lights still being up didn't panic me because they come down pretty fast. However as soon as we were finished Jeremy said that all he had left to do outside was pack the storage room. I never go in there so I asked the dumb question, "Isn't everything in boxes already, I mean it is just stuff in storage!" Then I remembered, I'm married to a man that doesn't sit still. I can remember a few afternoons when he went out and "worked" in there, so I ask to see the room. (I don't even have a key for the room!) So Jeremy opens the door and to my horror the room is completely unpacked! Yes, everything is in it's spot but nothing (well almost nothing) is in an actual box! Now I'm panicking! If you ask me at any given moment what day it is, there's a 99% chance that I won't know the answer. I now know why people say they will never move more than once! Oh well, back to more packing!

Oh yeah...on top of everything else we have been saying goodbyes! I think I should buy stock in waterproof mascara!
