The count down has begun.....

We are now 12 days away from closing on our old home and on our new home. The closings are all set for Sept. 22nd. I am so excited! So much has been going on.....we had some fix ups that needed to be done on our house (Jim worked hard and got them all done this morning...yeah! Way to go, honey!), we have been busy packing and will be even busier this weekend, work has been busy with training, our anniversary (wow...4 years!) is tomorrow and the weekend is right around the corner.

We have also interviewed two new daycares...one more to go. What a stressful thing to do. I am so thankful that we have been blessed with such an awesome daycare, since Sydney was 9 weeks old. She has been gracious enough to keep her a little longer than I think was the norm, only because she knew we had our house on the market and we didn't really want to have to move Sydney to a new daycare and then maybe have to move her again. Our last day at our current daycare will be 9/26. That will be a sad day. I know Sydney won't quite understand it, but I know I will. We know we will keep in touch with Georgie though....she is one special lady! The first daycare we interviewed....there was something about them that I just don't think are right for us. The second lady is awesome...I really like her a lot. The only negative is that she is 6 miles in the opposite direction from us....so 12 miles out of the way round trip. We have more lady that I am hopeing to set up and interview with early next week. She has been doing daycare for 30 years and her location is much more on the way and convienent. I know quality daycare is hard to find and if it means driving 6 miles out of our way, we may just consider that. I'll keep you posted on this journey!

That's about it for now....when all the papers have been signed, the keys have exchanged hands and the move is complete, we will be sure to let everyone know. Then the fun begins....unpacking (okay, maybe that isn't that much fun...but finding new places for everything just might be), decorating (I can't wait to see all the stuff I have had in storage for over a year...it will be like I went shopping for all new stuff...it just won't cost me anything!) and having everyone over to see our new home!
