We have been out of South Florida for not quite a week yet, and I must say...I miss it, and I am lonely! The last week of school for the boys was the 4 days that we had the packers and movers at the house. We decided to stay at a hotel for a couple of nights, then stay with the Herwig's for our last 2 nights in South Florida. (We would have stayed with the Herwig's all 4 days, but we were afraid that by Saturday they would be dancing when we left instead of wanting us to stay.)
So, the last 2 days were nice, we enjoyed just hanging out with our friends, then Saturday morning (D-Day) arrived. It was AWFUL! I am not sure when the sobbing started for me, but once it started, it was hard to stop. At one point, while the boys and Russ were coming in and our picking up our bags to pack in the van, Landon starts singing... "Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today..." Actually, I think that was when my tears started to fall. Just watching Gavin and Brady sleeping in their bed Friday night made me so sad...they have no idea everything that is about to change in their friendship.
We drove up to South Georgia to Cordele to stay with Russ' Aunt Priscilla and Uncle Durwood. We were tired, but it was a nice visit. Sunday morning we finished our route to North GA, Fort Oglethorpe, which is about 10 miles from Chatanooga, TN, a great little town...filled with so much shopping. The boys started VBS at Nana and Papa's church, and have had a great time so far. There is a talent show tomorrow, that supposedly Blake has signed up to sing in, but we will see. I'll let you know.
