Breathe In, Breathe Out

I spoke with our loan officer this morning. The appraiser still hasn't filed his appraisal with the VA. That information has necessitated a call to the moving company to bump our moving day back about a week (at least). That makes me just a little grumpy, but there are so many blessings to offset that tiny bit of news. Our grandbabies will be here in 2 days, with their parents in tow. I  plan to spend all next week vegging, playing in the back yard with the girls and not worrying about moving or packing or traveling or anything. It's going to be a fun week, with Hailey's graduation as the centerpiece of the week. We are going to eat good food (cleaning out the freezer in the process), laugh, play and enjoy each others' company. We have also scheduled a family pix. It'll probably  be our last opportunity for a very long time.

Hailey's class had an awards assembly last night, giving out the scholarships and awards. Hailey is graduating with honors, so she will get to wear the gold braid on her graduation gown. I'm so proud of her and her hard work. She is SOOOO ready for this whole thing to be finished.

The moving company rep came yesterday for our walk-through. It's so revealing to see your home through another's eyes. I thought I was doing well with the decluttering--then again, maybe not. There is still so much to do, maybe the additional week will be a blessing.

I've been trying to get loose ends tied up and knotted. There are so many little things that go along with moving. Got our Temple Recommends renewed--our stake leaders will be nearly 2 hours away in ND, but only 5 minutes away here. Stocked up on new unnies. Ordered a new Washer/Dryer set (half the price of anything we've seen up in ND). Scheduled final "girlie" checks. Took the sewing machine in to be cleaned and serviced. Still so much to do, but I'm getting a handle on it.

We are finally enjoying spring/summer weather. I'm reveling in having the windows open and the breezes wafting through. I even took one blanket off the bed!
