An amazing task today. I signed for my new house this morning. It went very smoothly and very quickly, as I had no bank to deal with on my side of the business. 5 minutes and I was done. Kind of made my head spin as I was prepared for 57 pages of initialing as when we bought the house in Oregon. I was done before my realtor, whose office is next door, could get there.

After I left the title company, I went to transfer the electricity to my name and to have the other city utilities taken care of. No problem there. Then, I went an got a celebratory iced coffee and went and drove up to my new house. As I was driving, a wave of emotion hit. Last time I signed it was with my Hubby, this time it was just me. I felt very alone in the moment. I cried all the way home, hoping no one else would be there. They were. So I stayed and cried in my car. I had missed a call from my middle daughter, (who will from here on out be referred to as July, the month of her birth), so I called her back. I cried on the phone to her, she was very sweet. Once I got my self together we had a short chat. I do love my girls.

Later my youngest daughter, (who will from here on out be referred to as Autumn, as she was born in October, but that doesn't sound very feminine), My Mom, sister, BIL, and niece and nephew went had to a little hole-in-the-wall, BBQ joint. It was good, but still misses the mark of real southern BBQ. The only two things I miss about living in the South is the afore mentioned BBQ and the Fireflies. They can have the heat, humidity, poisonous snakes, large nasty bugs, tornadoes and flash floods!

I am anxious to move into my new home, which will be next week. I am ready to make it my own. We, Autumn and I have been staying with my younger sis and her family, during this transition, they have been marvelous, it has been very easy, but I do look forward to my own place, own things and own space. It will be good.
