14 days 'til we are in the van driving with Vermont in our rear view. ( Have I mentioned this yet today?)
1 moment of sanity... Instead of driving 32 hours in a van with 3 small children I decided to buy 3 plane tickets for 100 dollars each. Such a small price to pay for sanity.
1 loving mother who is going to fly with us to New Mexico.
7 hours of driving that brought us home at 11:37 pm last night. 2 very tired parents.
1 almost 5 year old. 1 cranky 2 year old. 1 smiley 3 month old.
0 jugs of filtered water. 1 woman drinking tap water. Gross.
18 pounds of ground beef, 7 pounds of stew meat, 2 whole chickens, 1 pot roast, 2 packages of chicken thighs, 1 package of drum sticks, and 1 pound ground turkey needed to be eaten in the next 14 days. Anyone want to come over for dinner? Lunch? Breakfast? Anything...?
1 1/2 freezers full of food I can't take to New Mexico.
1 van. 2 people who need it. 1 very happy little brother who now has my beloved silver Altima, which was our second car.
430 pictures needed to download off my camera, from our trip home.
1 baby who still doesn't have a birth certificate. What in the world....!!
4 years of living in a cute house coming to an end. Sniff.
1 silly, sentimental woman who needs to remember that these houses are just houses. It's the memories in my heart that really matter.
9 more pages left to read in my really good book. I was actually able to read while back home. Miracles never cease.
8 inches of my hair that I had cut off. I feel like a new woman!
And one last thing...
Enough laundry to choke a horse....

Wow Wee! That's a lot of numbers! Sounds like a really fun adventure, though!!
I cannot believe you have that much meat. That's alot of meal gal!
Who's counting?!?!? :)
I'm with you on the laundry... I'm on load 4 for the day. And I detest laundry. I would rather clean the bathroom with a toothbrush than do the laundry! Ugh. Now back to folding towels........
I would absolutely love to come for dinner or lunch...but alas, the distance!
Ok, call me crazy, but is 3 plane tickets enough?? I could've sworn there were 5 of you guys!!
And you know we need to see a picture of that haircut!!

The number of people that know you are here in the World Wide Web that are secretly praying for your safe transition!
Several: The number of people who have had to make this trek as military families.
1! Who is siting here crying because you aren't coming here, and reading about your wonderful family always bring out the sap in me (don't get all excited, hallmark card commercials have the same effect).
Andy.........you keep being cool, you keep on keepin on. Your sacrifice as a family will always be taken seriously, and will always be appreciated.
Wow that's a lot of meat....and smart lady you are buying the plane tickets, I should have done that on the way here and it was only 16 hours with two kids. LOL
Hugs,
Sandra
PS...don't think you can just drop off the little "I cut 8 inches off my hair" and get away with out posting....that photo better be up tomorrow LOL
You have a lot going on...and a lot of meat to cook! I've been thinking and praying for you! It was so nice seeing you...sorry I was so exasperated at church...I always feel like I am running around like a chicken with it's head cut off! Stop by again when you are here with the kiddos! Oh, I don't have concealer, but I have foundation and tinted moisturizer (which I love!).
Choking a horse, my goodness! Good luck! We will keep you in our prayers!
Video your kids showing you around their rooms and the house. Stop and have them tell you their favorite memory of little spots in the house. We did this when we left Hawaii, just Mike and I, and we LOVE that video.
Keep your chin up!

Wow you have a lot of meat in your freezer!! You're ready for the next blizzard. Or flood :D
I know how unsettling it can be to move from a home where memories have been made. My thoughts and prayers are with you, but I know you will make a new and wonderful life in warmer weather :)
I finally got your new posts to come up by clicking on March 2008! Yarg! I think my computer is on crack!!!!!!! Did I mention "crack"? Ah, well, it's a little too quiet and calm here, but we will enjoy it 'cause in 14 days it will crank up again!
Love-
Mom
