Been a while since I wrote anything, but my husband came home on the 10th. Long time in coming, he had been gone a little over 14 months and 7 since we had seen him. It is nice to have him home. I had to drive to Jacksonville to get him, I had never been there before.
My daughter had her last day on the 11th, she is now a Senior in highschool. I remember the day I brought her home from the hospital, seems like yesterday.
My daughter got her braces off the day before her dad came home, completely excited was a major understatement. She smiles a lot and her teeth look really great. Her mouth does look a lot like mine.
We took the cats to the to say they seriously did not like any part of it. They are now able to travel into Canada and actually get into Alaska, which seems to have the bigger restrictions. We did get them ThunderShirts and they do seem to calm them down. We have driving them around town to calm them and it seems to be working quite well. They for some reason know exactly when we are home and are ready to book it.
The movers have been here the last two days...good grief and the boxes everywhere. I will be so glad when everything is loaded on the truck tomorrow and closed. The garage still has to be packed as well as the shed and pretty much after that it will be done.
The house closes on the 1st of June. We did not get the appraisal we wanted, actually time it is over and done we will have lost 20,000 on the house itself not to mention the Realtor fee's. It is extremely sad, this house was built in 2007 and by no means is it a shack, not a mansion but definitely worth what we paid for it 4 years ago.
With the big day being tomorrow I should have more time to keep this up to date and will seriously try!

Flip Flops and Sunshine
This week has been extremely hot to me. I finally realized why, this is the first year here we have not had a pool. Nothing to go cool off in. I do have a tan going on though, how I am getting so tan on my feet not really sure, except I wear flip flops every single day.
We are 22 days away from leaving this state YAH! 8 days from my hubs coming home DOUBLE YAH! Getting down to the end. It has been a long ride, and seems to be getting busier. I seem to have appointments every day or every other day for something to do with the move.
My beautiful daughter got her braces off today. Her smile is AMAZING, simply amazing. It is really cool to look at where her teeth were and to see where they are now. She said that she was gorgeous which is nothing new as soon as she saw herself without them, and that she has my smile. I agree her teeth do look a lot like mine now. I never wore braces, if her mouth were not so tiny perhaps they would have come in naturally straight. Now to keep that smile straight, we have to go back tomorrow and get the retainer that is removable, the permanent was put in today. Nice job from Hester and Morris in Valdosta, she got them off two and a half months earlier than expected because of the move.
Had the house appraiser out yesterday, I am hoping and praying the house appraises for what we are selling it for or more, we really do not want to have to kick in anymore money at this point.
My son finished his college online classes yesterday and actually managed to get certified in two of them. I am quite the proud momma today. That is hard work, I have been certified in one of those classes and missed the other by a few points. He blew them both out of the water and did not have the benefit of instructor help as he did them online.
The move at this moment does not seem to be moving at all, even though I know the days are getting closer. I suppose it is because the last time we moved we did it ourselves. We always said we would do one and we did ..and never again. That was a A LOT of hard work. I am glad I can sit back and watch someone else come in and pack up all of our belongings. The have to ensure they get there etc. because it is simply nerve wracking to do it from a few states away never mind clear across the country.
