It's Ours! and more...

YAY!!! We received the closing paperwork for the house we are buying in the mail today. Signed it and send it back to MI. Technically everything was dated for yesterday but it wasn't official until we signed it(in my mind). So...... we own a house!!!! It's ours! Our very own to do whatever we please with. Now, after two weeks, we will be moving in. I CANNOT WAIT.
Other than that N has decided to start potty training.... which can be a little frustrating when you are moving in two weeks and really do not want to start. But I can't discourage it. He takes his diaper off whenever it is wet or dirty(not fun)... he sits on the toilet and pees and poops. He has also taken to peeing on the carpet in random areas of the house if I don't catch him soon enough after he has gone commando. Frustrating is the word. Today the diaper came off multiple times and he peed on the floor in at least five places.
Other than that I've decided to do two things after we move to save money. One is to shop with coupons and shop with the sales trends and another is to use cloth diapers, which I've updated my other blog about.
Other than that we are moving. In two weeks. This weekend is my last weekend working. After than we have a homeschooling convention to attend, my Dad to pick up in Kansas City, a tumbling showcase, J's hooding and graduation ceremonies, packing, packing and more packing........... then the move. Is it creeping up on us? Yes. Are we prepared? No. Who can be? I'm leaving my best friend here. Who could be prepared for that? Four years went by way, way, too fast and although I am grateful for everything that has happened that has made our relationship grow into something that we wouldn't have had if we hadn't moved here. Separation is hard. Leaving is hard. Moving is hard. Although I look forward to the life I will have in MI with my new house, being closer to family and old friends and the starting of the church plant and campus ministry. Nothing can replace what I'm leaving behind here. And it's just not my best friend(although she is a major, major part of it) but all the other people that I've met that have changed my life. Changed who I am and my view on life's happenings. These things, people, can never be replaced. I will miss you more than I will ever be able to express in words or in person.
