In the past few days there has been LOTS of boxes, sweat, packing tape, bubble wrap, cleaning, lifting, loading, along with a few rolls of the eye, tears, and mixed emotions BUT the truck is loaded and we have less than 10 hours until we leave Lakeland.
Mat hits the road tomorrow in our car with the dogs. MJ and I board a plane at 9am. We'll meet up in St. Louis, rest for one day, and then leave for a short trip to Iowa to house hunt, job search (for me), and then back to St. Louis for a couple weeks of rest and introducing MJ to family and friends.
I am beyond tired. I am just ready to be done with this part and on to the next phase.
Our leave is bittersweet. We both hate to leave our home here. It's by far the nicest home we've lived in. We'll miss the Florida climate, our friends here, my brother, and of course my job. I'd be lying if I said I don't still have my moments of doubt about all this. I just hope that a year from now I'll be settled in and Mat will have finished his first year of teaching and we'll be happy and enjoying more time together as a family and then I'll know for sure that it was the right decision. I am supporting him in following his dream and hoping that it leads to more good things for me as well. That's all one can do really.
Off to bed for a little rest on our mattress on the floor. :) Pray for my sanity flying solo with baby tomorrow and for Mat as he makes a long drive on his own. We'll be updating soon!

I feel for you Keli & look forward to sharing in those moments of happiness when hindsight makes everything 20/20! Make sure you get some rest & don't push yourself too hard once you get here. x, mindy
I am praying...
Love you all,
Mom
Well, prayers answered..you are all three (plus 2 pups) here safely in the Lou! And I must say that the MJ is much cuter than any of his pictures capture. That smile will make every woman swoon. Thanks for sharing him this evening with me. Sleep tight babies! djm
