Her dream~

I'm home.....
Shes not here....

This isn't the way we planned it.

This was her dream...our dream.

We talked about this......I can't count how many times we talked about it.

She would have been thrilled, happy and overjoyed!

Her grandchildren were finally coming home!  She could see them whenever she wanted.

Her dream came later then we would have wanted.  But I know she is happy that we are finally home.  Home......and with our families.

It's still hard for me to be in her house.  I see her sitting there on the couch....when she was healthy and when she was sick.   I see her everywhere I look.  Every little thing she picked out, she hung up, she shopped for.  It's her.

So many emotions.

I know it will get better as I spend more time in the house.

Your dream finally came true Mom~

Starting Over~

Here we are again.....
In a new house....
In a new city....

But the good thing is it's not a new state to us.

We have now been here a few days over a month!  I still can't believe that we are here...that we are home.  Even as I write this it still seems hard to believe...we are home.  And believe me I have told Tim we are not leaving this state again!!!  He agrees!!

I'm still trying to find my way around town.  It's hard trying to figure out where to go for all the normal day to day things.  Like where is the best place for groceries.  We just found the mall on Sunday....we just went to one store.  I need to go back and see what they have...but it's not close.  You have to go on this freeway and get on this other freeway!!!  Ugh!!  It's just not a hop around the corner like I had it in Lexington!  I did get lost a week or so ago trying to find Target...now that's a store you must be able to find!  But have no fear....we did find it a few days later!  I knew I could do it! 

Now we are getting ready to start a new school year....a new school for the kids!  As much as I love being home...I'm kinda sad about the schools.  I loved the school back in Kentucky...well in Lexington!  They were great!  My kids did so well in them.  I knew what to expect as the new school year rolled around.  I knew what to do...where to go!   I just knew what to do.  Now.....I know nothing!!!I'm walking into something that I'm unsure about.  I'm sure the kids will do fine, but there is just that but!   My worry....a Moms worry!

Then I start thinking about doctors......don't get me stated with that!  Another BIG worry!!!

Stating over....hopefully for the last time~

I'm back!!!

I'm sure by now you have all forgotten about me!  It's been so long since my last blog....but that hasn't been my fault!  We do not have a computer at home!!! Yes, you heard me!!  And it's driving me CRAZY!!!  I need my computer hooked up!  I have to go to the local library if I need to do anything on the computer...you know important things...like get on face book, blogging and oh yeah try and find a job!  So, it seems like we have been here at the library almost every day!!

We are here!   We are in our house and I'm still trying to get things done.  The simple things like hanging things on the walls and stuff like that.  I still have some things to unpack, but it's the little unimportant things.  So, the garage is a mess!  But it can wait....right?  I think so!

The trip here was...hmmm....how can I put this nicely?   It was hellish!!  I know sometimes I dislike using those words on my blog...but hey that's what it was.  It seemed like every day something went wrong!  Tim and I lost each other one day!  I just kept on driving!!  That's what he told me to do! I was just following his directions!  We finally caught up with each other on the border of the next state!  It was funny the next day!  Had a little car trouble and Tim just left us.....kept on driving as the kids and I are shouting in the walkie talkie!!!  Finally the car started going again!!  Good thing!  He was down the road about 30 miles wondering where we went!  We  didn't go anywhere!!! So, many more stories!  But in the end we made it!! 

We are glad to be Home!  Home with our family!  It still seems like I'm just visiting.  I still havent' gotten my home legs yet!

PS.  I guess now we can't be Kentucky kids anymore!  Any ideas for a new name?
