One Week

on Friday, October 22, 2010

We have one week left here in FL. Less than that actually, as we leave on Thursday morning of next week.
I am nervous.

T and I have a lot to work on. I am hoping that we can do it. We have always been able to get through whatever life threw at us, until 2008. He has been able to face some of the problems that led him down a bad path. We talk a lot. So there's that.

I love my nanny and pop's house. I am just having a hard time facing the fact that it is no longer their house, and is about to become our home. With our stuff in it, and not theirs. I am worried about the effect of the move on M, our daughter.  And I do not like leaving my mom behind. Especially after all that she had done for us.

This is going to take a LOT of adjustment....

Changes!

I am not going to go into a great bit of detail, because I doubt anyone but family will read this. The reason for starting this, is so that if people wanted to keep up with us, they could. I will be blogging here regularly about our new life.

When I was a kid, I spent some time in a small West Virginia town. My grandparents lived there, as well as my great grandmother, a few aunts and uncles and a bunch of cousins. Now, there are just a few cousins left. My Nan and Pops house is empty since my Nan, and my aunt's passing. The family does not want to let the house go to someone outside of the family. They all have their own homes. Mine is sitting vacant, in foreclosure. 

As most of you know, my life has been an absolute mess for the last 3 years or so. My hubby and I have had lots of problems. He is trying to get it together. Everyone who doesn't think I should have kicked him to the curb, believes that this change could work wonders for him, and for us. 

I hope so. Because I am tired of the roller coaster ride. Besides, my family will kill him if he doesn't keep in line. *winks*

I am nervous about this. I am also excited and elated. I absolutely LOVE this place. Most people wouldn't think it is much. In reality, it isn't. It is small. Not even a stop light in town anywhere. It is isolated. It is quiet. It has its problems, just like everywhere else. But it is beautiful. I feel at peace there. I am anxious to get there, and get settled. 

I am hoping to get T to post here as well. I am interested in his thoughts on all of this. I am hoping we can get out together, take pictures... post them here. I am hoping that for the first time in a long time, we can LIVE.
