Only SEVEN more days until we leave California for good. I got all of our utilities, cable, phone, etc…set up and service started. Had a couple of interesting conversations re: why on earth we would leave CA for MI…LOL! Guess it all depends on your viewpoint…CA is mecca for many people, just not this person!
I must say I am a little hurt that our families are not making a bigger deal about this. Actually, I guess that isn’t the case…it’s just that they are not supporting us with it by throwing us a big going away party. That’s what we want, and I guess secretly that’s what I feel like parents *should* do. I’m sure someday when my kids want to move 2000 miles away…I will not want to throw them a party. But the feeling behind it is that we’re stupid or irrational for moving in the first place. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the words “don’t ask me for help after you’ve moved” from dh’s parents…isn’t that a lovely thing to say to your only son?
Just makes us both want to get out of here and never come back, reiterates to us WHY we’re leaving…to become better people, Godly people who seek God first and don’t think about money or our selfish needs/wants as our God.
Currently worrying about:
Leaving something important behind
Beating the moving truck by 3-4 days and having nothing to sleep on when we get there
Not beating the moving truck at all and having to pay more to get our stuff
D in the car for 8 hours a day (not all at once, relax people!)
Not being able to sell diapers/baby stuff in time before we go
The huge pay cut dh is going to take when we move
Having to eat macaroni and cheese from the box or, even worse, having to split a package of top ramen every night for dinner if we can’t budget better than we are here
Wondering if my mom is going to be okay on her own
