it's been a few weeks

So I figured I should post something. Life just keeps moving. We sent out support letters about a week ago. No response really yet but we're believing that the Lord has us in His hands. He knows our plans; He's the one who planned it out. I know He will continue to provide just as He has in the past. Nothing new:)

I think we're down to about 5 weeks. There are 3 weeks of school left and then I think we have 2 weeks of being here in June. Then it's time. We've been spending a lot of time with friends lately and barely eating at home. Great for our grocery bill but sometimes not so good for our dining out bill. We need to continue to be careful about that one. Granted, it's been so much fun hanging out with people and getting to know people better, even as our time here comes to a close. It's all about relationships, no matter how much time you have with people. Gotta make the best of it all.

We've sold more things; the guitar (sad), the washer and dryer is going at the end of the month, the TV stand, and the DVD player. Our apartment is looking rather bare these days but I saw a trailer like the one we'll be pulling and.... yeah. We need to keep selling stuff. There's very little room in there. And I don't believe in taking things that we don't need. I'm all about getting rid of it. We'll sleep on the air mattress for as long as we need to.

My mom is here this weekend and then Danny flies back north with her on Monday so I'll have the week to myself. I'm hoping to exercise and get some phone calls in. I also know that I'll have work at work, and at Kohl's, to do. Report card time is coming quickly, again. End of the year is just as busy as the beginning of the year. But retention conferences are over and that's a plus. Final evaluation is over as well. June is going to be difficult. Seeing my kids go and then leaving my school for the last time. My friend Tara and I... we're going to be basket-cases the last 3 days when it's just teachers, and probably the last couple of days with the kids as well. I'm not really one who cries a lot, but Tara has been more emotional lately and when people say certain things... I know I'm going to lose it. It's good though. It'll just be hard. Probably harder leaving here than leaving IN actually. The friendships are different as we've had to work at them; we didn't just grow up with these people. And they've been our "family" when we've been all alone. I'm going to stop there. No need for tears yet. Florida has definitely become special.
