Today is the day. Me, my mom, and my small, smaller, and smallest "chickadees" will be on a big plane headed west and then south. For five hours.
Lord have mercy.
I am armed with enough snacks to feed a small army, two new movies, four new ponies and their respective riders, a magnet board, a magnet book, drawing supplies, and a pillow.
I have no idea what the kids are going to do on the plane..... ha! I jest.
I am so nervous, but not about the plane ride. It will be fine. I am nervous about this new life I am embarking on. Will I like it there? Will anyone want to be my friend? Will I find someone to hang out with that likes it there? Will I find all the stuff I need to make a good life for my family? Am I going to melt from the heat? Am I going to be bitten by a rattlesnake while out hiking? Does UPS deliver way out there? Will people think bad of me because I haven't lost all the pregnancy weight? Blah, blah blah....
Fine, so everything I am thinking may not be rational, but still... Can you tell I'm nervous. I tend to overanalyze when I am.
There's no turning back now.... My feet are hitting the floor as soon as I hit publish. Unless I fall back asleep. But then my mom would probably kick my butt so hard I'd end up down there anyways.
Good-bye life I know so well..... Hello unknown! Wanna be friends?

Oh how I'm praying for you! You will do wonderful and I know you'll make the best of wherever you are. God is with you and he has a plan that you don't even know about :)
I hope it all goes smoothly. I'm so glad your mom can travel with you!
I'm praying for peace for you today! You will do great - praying that God will send you the friends you need to walk through this season of your life! May God have many wonderful blessings in store for you as you settle into your new home! (Sorry if this posts twice, it wasn't working the first time!)
You're going to do great and I can't imagine someone not wanting to be your friend! I'm praying for you and your family as you embark on this new journey!!
It will be great. You'll see!
I sure wish you were coming closer to me so we could hang out & I know so many others who feel the same. So you finding friends will not be a problem.
Praying for you today.
I can so relate - transition isn't exactly fun - I'm feeling the same way! Praying for you as you travel and settle in.
I think it's hysterical that I just found your blog last week and have been reading and then to find out you are moving to Cannon!! We live in Portales. Take Heart there are no Costco's but 80 miles away there is a Sam's (which I don't like nearly as well, but at least it's something) and the Sam's in Lubbock 105 miles away is huge!!! Good luck with your move!!! We moved here 7 months ago.
Have a safe trip! Praying it all goes smoothly for everyone. I think it's great your parents were able to help with this move.
And I'm sorry to say, but yes, unfortunately you probably will melt from the heat! LOL It was 89 (here anyway) yesterday and supposed to be 88 today and tomorrow. We're not even going to have a spring and I'm afraid it's going to be a very hot and early summer here. I'm just not ready for this 90 degree weather!
I'm thinking of you today! I know it's scary exciting to move on like this but you will have no problems making friends! It's gonna be fun :)
you're gonna do great, and i'm still praying for safe travel and that the kids will do well on the flight. it's awesome that your mom is coming along to help! you'll probably have more friends than you know what to do with and will soon be making fun new memories in your new home. we can't wait to see pictures!
can't wait to hear about all the great things that ARE going to happen in the next few months as the new life unfolds!
Megan
I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to hear all about your new adventures in NM. :-)
Oh BTW, the new lens is a Canon 50mm f/1.8 II. Very inexpensive lens but takes very nice photos.
Good luck Andrea!!! Have fun, be safe and I will be thinking of you and your family! xoxo
Andrea,safe trip.I'll keep you in my prayers.
Hope the trip went well! And you'll make friends...just don't forget about us!!
Hope everything went smoothly and you're there safe and sound :) Let us know when you get there!
Dying to hear how it all went. Hope you are settling into a new house quite nicely.
Cannot wait to hear about your trip. Hope things are going well.
I'll be your friend! Oh... wait. you're not moving here. :(
I love you- you are so funny. Godspeed! Can't wait to hear about the new place.
You have us all living vicariously through your great adventure! Take lots of pictures and fear nothing. We're all cheering you on.
Good Luck! I'm sure you'll all do fine. Can't wait to hear how it is when you all get settled in your new 'home'
Brittany
I'll be your friend! We are going to be neighbors, kind-of. Let me know when you're settled in and we can have a nice long chat about living down here. There are things you will need to know: Like what to do when you find a scorpion in your closet, or how to stay cool in 114 degree summers when you used to live "up North", or how to learn Spanish, how to make a breakfast taco, and how 8 hours away never felt so close. I miss you!!!
