Dazed and Confused

apparently i'm moving in a week. every day i wonder how this is going to be logistically possible, but every day i make a little bit more progress and feel a little bit better about it. i still don't know how i'm going to actually get 2 kids and a dog down to texas by myself, but that's a ways away yet and i'm not going to worry about it.

i don't really have anything of interest to write about today unless you want to hear stories of cancelling bills, packing boxes and the ever-so-interesting story of woe concerning one of my space bags that will not stay sealed. don't get me started on the space bags. if it were up to me i would have EVERYTHING in a space bag - they are so amazing. love them. there is something so exhilarating about putting a bunch of clothes in to a space bag and sucking the air out of it until it is about an inch or two thick. LOVE.

i do need to say a quick shout-out to my nephew charlie. today would have been his 6th birthday. unbelievable. where does the time go? there really isn't a day that goes by that i don't think of char-bear...and i gotta say - another thing about this house that i love. charlie is resting just about 2 blocks from us and i drive by him and give him a wave darn near every day. i'll miss that about this 'hood, too. anyway, love you charlie - you have the coolest little brother ever. your parents are amazing too, but when it comes right down to it, i think it's your auntie gina who really tops all. ha! i wrote that because i know your mommy is going to read this and just laugh out loud while shaking her head. tee hee. i enjoy moments like that, i figure you might, too. keep lookin' out for us down here, buddy. and tell god we are done with the snow. love you so much, honey. we think about you all the time. kisses.
