As of today, it’s 7 days left in my home – 5 at WSET. This week has been a little bit better as far as building the Myrtle Beach house. I’ve gotten several updates via email from the builder and the realtor – and some really great pictures. I cannot wait for my nice new KITCHEN! 

My mother-in-law has been a God send this week. She has come by and spent her afternoons helping me pack up the house. Our big feat is having the entire kitchen in boxes already. That took the better part of 3 hours. We had a huge stack of boxes awaiting all the items from our life – every single one of them is now full. I need to go on a box run today before we can continue. I think I may take a break from boxing this afternoon to breath.

I’ve also started to say goodbye – and that is making the reality of it all set in. A couple that I’m good friends with left yesterday for vacation and won’t be back before we leave.   I had not shed many tears yet but the facet opened when I gave Holly a hug. Then Turner said, “Don’t worry this isn’t goodbye for good.” To which I replied, “Yeah, but you are the first I’m saying goodbye to. And you won’t live down the street anymore.” Then I almost cried at my last haircut at Volume Salon. I’ve been going to see Randy for almost 4 years now – he knows more about me than a lot of people do. As I started to well up with tears I thought, “Get it together Danner – Randy will think you are nuts if you start bawling in the middle of the salon.” I have a feeling this is only the beginning for Cry Fest ’08.
