Not quite a beach recap yet....................

We had a FANTASTIC beach trip............that will have pictures posted soon................I swear......

But tonight is the last night I am sleeping in my home. It's sold, remember. Movers come tomorrow. I'm not packed.........What? Not packed?.........Yes............not packed.

I want to start with my blessings..............I have so many.............Although not always easy to count when a bad day hits, I am very very blessed! Have you seen my kids? Damn cute! Full of love and personality and the bluest eyes --- eyes come straight from the husband--Blue as the sky!! Family that extends way beyond bloodlines...........Friends that are family, Family that is family........Long list of blessings...........

It doesn't mean I won't miss my home. It was built with a lot of sweat and tears and love.........And tons of thought.......for example, an electrical outlet just for Christmas lights..........

some other things I will miss.............

These came from my parents home and have done beautifully!!


These were planted by Hubby, Dad and myself and started out so small but have really filled out nicely!!

This lovely carving of "mexico" was done by some highly skilled workers............But, God has an amazing way of healing................

Big Papa's first nursery was decorated in this home, Both kids had their first birthdays here, both kids first walked here, lots of firsts here..............But just like the poor magnolia tree above, God has an amazing way of healing things. And we'll be having a whole lot more "firsts" no matter where we live, and for that I am blessed..................

And for all the things I love about this home (The natural light is stunning from all the windows and did I mention my barn door? LOVE IT) I get to take what I love the most and...................

MOVE THEM WITH ME..............................

Am I sad? Hell yes
Will I drive out of my way to specifically NOT drive by my home? For a while, I'm sure.
Do I like moving? Absolutely not, which is why I am blogging instead of packing.

So.................guess I better get packed..................time to move!!

I just do not know what to say... All I want to do is take this pain & heartbreak away for you.

So I am going to tell you that I love you dearly & that I am here for you.
