Moving day for Michelle. I packed up Ellexia’s room this morning and then helped Tagen finish up his. Michelle worked on her room and down in the barn. She took two car loads to the new house.

Michelle worked at the new house while the movers were here loading up. They didn’t show up until 1:00. One guy showed up then another joined him. The second guy had to go to town around 3:00 and hasn’t made it back out here yet. The other guy is finishing up. He only has a bed to load and then he will be done loading. I sure hope they plan to unload tonight. They may wait till morning.

I did some mowing this afternoon while the guys were loading. I was anxious and needed to move my body. That way I was available if they had a question – they just had to flag me down and I didn’t have to stand around and watch them.

Ellexia is cheering this afternoon so when the movers leave I will run into town to watch her and then take her home. The kiddos may have to spend the night here again depending on what the movers do.

I was pleasantly surprised when the A/C company called me today to tell me they could install the new blower motor this afternoon in Michelle’s new house. That was easy!

One thing at a time we are getting things done. Michelle took a huge step today moving into her own house. I trust this new beginning will work well for her and the kiddos.

A year ago Jim went to Colorado to give us a break from each other for a few days. I had finally figured out what was going on between us and needed a few days alone to make a decision on which life path I wanted to walk. Both choices were hard but one had a light at the end of the tunnel. I am grateful I chose the path I did as I am now seeing and feeling the light.

It took me a long time to figure out why I kept falling into the muck pond and why I had trouble getting out of it when I did. It is interesting because now that I have healed a bit, I rarely fall in the muck pond and if I do I don’t stay there very long. That helps me know I made the right decision.

Grateful for moving companies that do the heavy lifting, grateful for making the decision I did a year ago, and grateful for the time I had with Michelle and the two kiddos.
