Exhausted

Well, we have officially moved!! It's been absolutely exhausting, but we couldn't have done any of it without the help of our family. They've been invaluable!!! They have gone above and beyond the call of duty and I don't know how we can repay them!
 I am very surprised that I haven't broken down about moving out of our old house yet...I shed a few tears a few weeks ago just thinking about moving so I thought I would be in bad shape, but so far so good! :) Don't get me wrong...we wanted to move! We found an amazing home that we can grow into and in my favorite school zone, but it's still just a tad bit sad leaving our old house.
What I will miss the most, though, are our neighborhood friends! I won't be two doors down from Mary anymore...(ok...here come the tears!!!!!!!!!!!) Now instead of a 12 second walk, we are a 12 minute drive away! :(  We met Mary when she came knocking on our door the day that we came home from the hospital after I had Camp. She came bearing banana bread and I knew we were soulmates. :) We are also going to miss the sweet Campbell family and being so close to them! Every time we made the turn by their house, Camp would say "YAY!" (hoping that we were going to play with Avery) I know it may sound silly because we are still in the same town, but our old house and neighborhood were just so special to us. Ok, enough of my emotional vent...
I will post pictures of our new house as we start to settle in more. I am so happy with how much we've accomplished so far. We've only been living here a little over 24 hours, but it already feels like HOME!

Here is Camp sleeping in his old room the night before we moved. He was clutching on to his Trucks book. He has a whole medley of things he likes to have in his crib when he goes to sleep. Uh Oh, Trucks book, Owl, Bunny, Beary, milk, and light ON. :)

What a great place for Camp to grow up! And you know what they say, Make new friends but keep the old...

this post was just marvy!! haha. I love your new place even if it's now 12 minutes away.

Your words were so sweet and I'm glad the banana bread almost 2 years ago left such a lasting impression. Perhaps I'll get around to bringing you more instead of just eating the baked goods from your new neighbors! (thanks for sharing!)

Anywho, it's a little quieter in the hood these days but I'm still glad your landscaping lights come on. I love you guys!! But MISS you so much already :(

I'm so glad everything went well with your move into your new home. I can't wait to see it!
Isn't it special that the little house and neighborhood you moved from still has a magic about it that's hard to forget.

Out family (4 generations) will always have good memories of living there:) Love, Ma-Maw
