I'm Never Moving Again

All I do now is pack. I've packed so much there isn't anywhere else to put the boxes. I have pictures of all the things I've been doing. First, I'll show you the flower beds at my new house before I got a hold of them and then after. Okay, never mind. I forgot that our ghetto, slow computer closes the page after I add them, thus losing them. I'll have to do it from Mom's computer. Basically, we've packed so much that there is no where is to put the boxes, so we're at a stand still. We went to the house today and the realtor said we could move some stuff in early, so we're going to. My cousin's wife is coming over to clean it tomorrow and after she's done we're going to move some things in. Actually we'll move a lot of things in so the movers won't be here as long as they could be. Scott has to work tonight so Dad and I went to Rib Crib for dinner. Turns out it is all you can eat rib night. Definitely not what I needed, but oh well. We went to Starbucks for an after dinner coffee. Dad definitely misses Mom. I hope she's having fun in Mexico with Mema! It got me to thinking about what life would be like without Mom. I don't know if everyone is this close to their Mom or I just have an unhealthy relationship! I talk to her several times throughout the day, we work out together, we pretty much do everything together. She's the only person that e-mails me all through the day at work. It made me sad to think about what life would be like without her. Some of my friends have already had a parent die, and I just couldn't imagine what it would be like. It makes me appreciate that we are so close. I think I've been very sentimental lately because we're moving. I love our little house, and it's special because Scott and I built it together. I thought we would live here a little longer than the almost 2 years, but what can you do? Every time we go over to the new house I know we're doing the right thing. I'm so excited. It has so much potential, and I can't wait to decorate it for the holidays. I guess I'm crazy, but I've already been thinking about things for my ornament party. I loved it last year, so it's just going to be a yearly tradition. Hopefully there won't be an ice storm this year and more people can come! I'm watching the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It makes me think about how Mom, Dad, and Louie were all pirates for Halloween last year. Then it makes me think about how I can't wait to have my Halloween party this year and how I don't know what I want to be yet. Do you see the way my mind works? This is why I have so much stuff!!

Never say "never," Beth! We said that we would never move again, and then we did - twice! And we talk about our next house quite frequently! The only good thing is that we have spent this summer cleaning out, donating, and throwing away a ton of stuff, so we will have less to move next time! :-)

And as for parents....I pray that you and Richard don't have to know what it is like to lose a parent for many, many, many, many years. It sucks everyday.......even after 5 years.

Jonathan, by the way, says, "Dear Beth, I hope you are having a fun time packing. And I also hope that you will have a fun time at your new house....since it's new. And I love you! The End! Jonathan."

I know. We haven't even moved in yet and I talk about our next house too. I just say never so it won't seem daunting. I do think I need to get rid of a lot of stuff though. Tell Jonathan I am not having a fun time packing and don't think I will ever be done. But, I do think I will have a fun time at my new house and so will he when you come to visit.
