1 week to go

My children and I leave in one week from today. My emotions are on such a rollercoaster. I'm anxious and super excited. I also feel really sad. I'm even a bit scared. There are people here that mean so much to me, but I know if our bond is strong, our paths will cross again. I will miss the weather. Silly as it may sound, I will miss the 99cent store and GTM. I love to bargain hunt and score a great deal. My mom has been so supportive. Her excitement is very encouraging. Next week, I will begin to get ready for homeschool. We will have a whole room set up as a classroom. How cool is that? Our house isn't getting much action on the market. Hubby is gonna have to stay here until we get a solid offer. This is not ideal. In a perfectly painted dream we would arrive in our new life together. However, until the house sells we still have to pay the mortgage here. We've started saying our good-byes to the ones that want one. Good-byes can be really hard. I think some people would rather skip them. It's either that or we don't matter as much as we thought we did to some people. We are ok with that. This process has really shown me my true friends and family in San Diego. Leaving the true ones is breaking my heart. This is not an easy process. Some think we are crazy, others brave. I think it's a bit of both.
