Oh.My.Gosh.

Exhaustion. Seriously.

My house is empty. Well except for the cats...and a few other thing stowed in the basement. My garage however, is full. Like insanely full. As is the van and the car. The van is full of my boys too...Kyle included. They are headed to Lakeview. No longer citizens of Jackson County. Madi and I are headed up tonight with a car-full for them too. All their clothes.

It was an emotional weekend for me. I think just being plain old tired. And then add on leaving your home of the last 10 years, and knowing your hometown of pretty much your whole life is changing. And half your family is leaving. ICK!

Anyway, my mom was out of control this weekend, cleaning, working a garage sale, cleaning, hugging me when I cried :) Thank Mom! And Kandi Jean...thanks for cleaning things I wouldn't let most people even SEE!!! Rex, thanks for painting...and Steve B thanks for helping fix odds and ends.

Alright, going now, before I cry some more! And really, I AM OK!!! Just emotional. I still want this all more than ever...just can't wait to be settled into a new HOME and back together with my BOYS.
