May and June

More cleaning. More leaving , and more showings! Have I mentioned I don't want to move out of my house? More preparing for Shrimp's grad party. It is very difficult to make picture boards when you have to pick up and leave at a moments notice. Can anyone say "STRESSFUL"?? I happen to have some amazing friends who came to my rescue and helped put the boards all together. (Love you guys!) Prepared and hosted a Prom dinner at our house for Shrimp and friends. Goose finished her classes on the 19th so we made a trip to Eau Claire to pack her up and move her back home. Love that she is home but where do we put all this stuff??!! Yikes!!

Toot and Cowboy were baptised on Mother's Day. Our pastor and his wife had been to the Holyland and had brought back water from the river Jordan and they asked if we would like to use some of it for the baptism. WOW! (we said yes :0} )

May 22nd we sold the house. We were very thankful that the house sold so quickly and for the price we wanted BUT it also drove home the fact that this was really happening. We are relocating to Georgia and the buyers want us out of the house by June 23rd!

Made a little side trip to the emergency room. My heart would not stop racing....hmmmm....I can't imagine why. The Dr. asked what was going on in my life and when I told him he kind of laughed and said I need to relax. YA THINK?? Tests all showed everything was OK. Thank you God.


June

We had our house inspected on June 4th or 5th and we passed with flying colors! There wasn't anything they asked us to fix! YEAH! The night we passed we sprung a leak in the bathroom faucet upstairs. Flooded the bathroom and soaked through a small area of the ceiling downstairs. Shrimp's party is the next day.


The Weatherman and I just throw our heads back and laugh!!! What else can you do??

Shrimp's party was wonderful and exhausting ! He had a blast. We had a blast.

Last day of school Shrimp and E-man (my "other" son)


June 9th was graduation. My baby is out of high school!


June 12th the three older kids head off to church camp where they are all counselors. They retuned on June 19th.
Left Toot and Cowboy with my mom (who was staying with us to help with the move) flew to Indiana rented a car and my sisters and I drove to Georgia for more house hunting. Weatherman flew down a day later. We looked at about 50 houses in 3 days. We found one we liked, put an offer on it and started driving back to Indiana. On the way back we received the news that we were turned down! The people would NOT budge on the price (The house had been empty for over a year!). Still homeless!!!! Flew back to Minnesota.
June 21st was father's day. Our last one in our house. It was wonderful that everyone was home but one of the saddest also. We were saying good-by to Pooh. Do you have any idea how heart wrenching it is to leave a child behind?? I felt like I was abandoning him. Your kids are supposed to go off and leave the you, NOT the other way around!!

June 22nd we sent Shrimp, Toot and Cowboy down to Indiana to stay with Mamaw. The packers come. June 23nd the movers come. I HATED this day!

Weatherman, Goose, my mother and I spent the night with my good friend Jane (Love you Jane). Said good-by to the Weatherman (he is still working in MN) and drove to Indiana.
