For the Love of Savanna

The move is scheduled for tomorrow (I hope I can make it that long). I won't have access to the internet for two weeks (oh no!). I WILL post pics of the new house when I am back online.

I leave my current house with mixed feelings. It was my first house purchase and the only house my dad was able to see before he passed away a little over 3 years ago. He was so proud of me. The house was much bigger and newer than the one I grew up in. My dad always wanted more for his kids than what he had. He really took pride in our accomplishments. I miss him, especially now. This house is also the first house Savanna has lived in with me and we have created many wonderful memories here. I'm sure we will have many happy memories in the next house too. So, I move with a bit of sadness and feelings of excitement and joy for the new home. (I need to move because my current house is a two-story and my dear mom fell going down the stairs and hurt her ankle. She really can't do stairs very well now. And, my elderly frail aunt has been staying with us and she can't go up the stairs at all. Lastly, the school system in the new town is all that I could hope for for Savanna-- yes, I know, she has a few years to go but I believe in long term planning ).

I have been so forgetful lately. I think my boss is starting to worry about me. I am not paying attention to details as I should. It is worrying me too. Maybe I'm more tired than I realize. I'm like the energizer bunny and just keep going, going, going.  I hope the transition is quick and smoothe. The last thing I need right now is to worry about job security.

As for my bloggin' buddies, I'll be checking in on you. I sure hope Erinberry gets her referral this week and Stacy finds out Ingrid IS hers and Angel has a great visit with Zoe in Guatemala. Many prayers going out to Nan right now. Please stop by "The Galica Family" and give her some love. Can someone please tell Lisa, "Dominics Homecoming", to post some more pics? Just kidding, kind of.

Wishing you well. Be safe and have FUN!

Happy 11 mos Savanna!  You feel the same way that I do about moving! The second picture to the right is of you and your "bunny blanky". The lower left picture you are walking, walking, walking with your car in hand. And, the lower left picture is of you walking outside.

You amaze me every day. I think you know my name and you are trying to say it too. It sounds like "nama".

I am so proud of you and I love you beyond words.

At this time next week we'll be in a new house. I hope you like it.

Love your overly tired, sick of packing, but much appreciative Momma

At 3:55 p.m., 41 years ago (yes, 41. It shocks me too),  I entered the world with a BIG cry. It's a strange thing... my mind partially feels like a twenty year old and at other times I'm blessed with the wisdom of a 41 year old. Now, my body? It thinks it's still twenty but it doesn't look it and it has many more aches and pains than I ever remember in my youth!

So, can you believe it? I am a 41 year old single Momma by choice! I sure hope I haven't lost my mind....

Seriously, I can't imagine my life being any better than it is right now.
