Thoughts

I'm tired tonight. Tired of wondering who will rent our home? Where will we live exactly? When will we leave, exactly? Will it be a good neighborhood, with a good school for the kids? Will we make friends? Will we be happy there? Will Randall enjoy his commute? Can we get by with just one car? Will I like having only 1 bathroom to share among the 6 of us?

But then I remind myself that we feel good about things, and we think we have found a renter for our home. I love NYC and am excited to be so close to all it has to offer. New Jersey has good schools,and the kids will be fine. Of course we will make friends. Having 1 car means less maintenance and less money out of pocket every month. There's Trader Joe's. So much history and culture and places to explore. One bathroom makes less clean up for me, and we will be happy there, just you see. And just think how cute and curly Kate's hair will be with all that humidity. Maybe next year on the 4th of July we will celebrate with the hundred's of thousand of other people at our nation's capitol. Just you wait and see...it could happen.

Yes, it will all come together...in time! It is hard to be patient with the unknown and the many decisions to make, but you. will. get. there. :)

You're right--so many wonderful things can happen with this move! I feel for you. Moving is so stressful! Hang in there. It will work out. You'll be fine with one bathroom. Sometimes there are lessons to be learned with "holding it," but it's not so bad. 1 car will be fine too. There will definitely be a transitional period, but at the end of it you'll be able to smile and wonder what you were so worried about. Love ya!
