Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Hope you are all having a great holiday. Here is a big shout out to all Veterans! Thank you Thank you Thank you for our freedom and for your sacrifices. Words really can't express how thankful we are.
I made it through the first year on my own. I walked on the beach under a full moon on the anniversary of Rick's death. I know the moon was beautiful where I was and I can't even imagine how beautiful it is from heaven.
I guess there are some of you out there that haven't heard that I had an offer on the house this past week. Actually I got two offers and as I said earlier, I just felt that it would happen on the anniversary weekend. I did accept one of the offers and the closing is set for June 20th. YIKES ! Now...the plan....what was the plan?? Of course I have been at this point before and that time it didn't work out so I am just a little gun shy. It was a good offer and I am fortunate to have been able to sell in such a depressed market. I have to assume that it will work out this time and the cats and I will be on the streets in 26 days. This will be a very difficult move for me. Leaving OUR house and OUR yard and OUR garden and the memories associated with the house. The good memories I will hang on to and the bad (illness related) I will try to forget.
I will also miss all the great friendships that I have made here. I don't know what I would have done without my support group!! My girls were always there for me. The neighbors I have had here were great too. So I will be leaving a lot of familiar faces, my fitness center, my church, my bell choir, Choir...etc. My routine. I guess I can honestly say that I won't rule out moving back here only into a smaller place. I will, for the meantime, move to Arkansas to be closer to mom for awhile. Most of my stuff will be in storage here in Alabama until I know where I will end up after that. I assume it will be somewhere in Louisiana. I still plan on running the roads quite a bit to see all of my family and friends as often as I can. I also have some old friends that are there for me and they don't care where I live they just love me anyway.
I will keep you posted on the crazyness that will be my life for the next few weeks!
