Hi everyone! I hope this day finds you well! It is a gorgeous day here in South Carolina and our last in our house. As I type, I am sitting on the floor with my computer and keyboard in my lap. We don't have much left in our house. Beth from Dirty Laundry (who is an absolute hoot! If you need a giggle, read her blog!) emailed and asked me how it was going and I think I summed it up.
I am so sad to be leaving this sweet home, Charleston, the beach, my palm tree, and our dear friends. I am ready for it to be done though and move on. I am upset that I can't "settle" for another month and a half.
That is a lot of crazy emotion I am dealing with on top of turmoil in my family. Why do people turn more cruel than ever after the death of a loved one? Facebook and texting just aren't o.k. when you are dealing with family. I am watching my family be torn apart and am so sickened and saddened by people's behaviors. Pray for peace for my parents, if you can. They need it.
We are headed to Florida tomorrow to visit the grandparents and have a little R&R. It is always so relaxing there! We need it! Then it is back to Charleston for a couple of weeks, then to Tennessee to see my parents, and then... we head up north! I am going to take a detour and visit my BFFL in Michigan before we head to Minnesota! I can't wait!
I can't tell you how much I have appreciated all your sweet words during this move. This one is really hard and I am so glad that no matter where I live, I will have all my blogging friends there to support me. I have had two Minnesota bloggers reach out to me and knowing all of you are there is seriously what is making this a bit easier on me. Thank you.
Have a great weekend and I will be back as soon as I can!!!
Well, I think I feel sad about your move right along with you, I LOVE your Charleston area... but, you have some exciting times ahead..and sharing it all with the folks you love most. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this little "interim" you will have before settling in the Great White North! How wonderful to get to go visit family and have some rest & relaxation time. As for family situations, it seems that a death in the family often brings out bad behavior. I don't know why that is, but perhaps it's because everyone deals with the loss in a different way. Prayers for your parents and peace for your heart. Can't wait til you're up and running again in Minnesota. You will be missed in the meantime!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, K! For so many things.
ReplyDeleteOh honey, we seem to be going through 2 of the same things. My hubby's Father died last year and the family is a mess of fighting and not talking. Plus we are moving, building a new home, our daughter and SIL and their 2 dogs are living here while they are building THEIR new house. I am interviewing realtors, trying to get rid of CRAP, packing etc., etc. YOU know the drill for sure. Be safe, get some rest in Fl. and you will be ready to face the new home. God bless you and your sweet family. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteYour new adventure is just beginning and it will be a fun one, I'm sure! If you're traversing up I-75 on your way to Michigan, you'll be going through Dayton- so maybe you'll give me a ring, make a quick stop and we can meet for a Coke right off the highway- I'm 15 min away from I-75 and Rt.725 just south of Dayton proper. So if you're up for it, let me know!!! Have a good visit in FL and TN. :-)Sue
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I've been out of touch with you for too long - I can't believe you're already about to make the move to Minnesota! I hope it all goes well and you enjoy spending time with the grandparents before the big move. Sorry to hear that there are still family problems :-( Try to not let it get you down too much, and things will hopefully get sorted out eventually. Sending you lots of positive vibes!

ReplyDeleteOh sweet girl I am completely guilt-ridden that I have not been there for you. I had no idea you were dealing with so much. Please forgive me. You will be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks as you transition your family to a new home. Good luck my dear and I will be checking in, I promise!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

Enjoy your time on the road! Nice long break before you end up in MN. There is a whole generation of people that use text/twitter/facebook as their only form of communication. People are getting to where they can't deal anymore face to face. Makes it a bit easier for them to be mean. Hope it works out. Lori
ReplyDeleteYou are such a wonderful person, inside and out, and I can only imagine what you are going through. It is sad to think that people get so mean during times like this and I have to say I've noticed that things like Facebook and texting have changed it, and not for the better! I am thinking of you and sending lots of hugs your way! Enjoy your time in FL and then in Michigan, that sounds lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteTake it easy there girlie, I will be thinking of you. SOrry to hear about the turmoil in the family. I never get that either after a death. Have fun on all your trips.
ReplyDeleteHave been thinking about you lately..Will keep you and your family in my prayers.
