Well, I've needed to post the fact that we are moving to Ft Smith sometime later this year. Wahhh! We found out July 15th...black Tuesday I called it.
Todd got a supervisor job there and it is a great move up for him. I, on the other hand was totally devastated.
We've been here for 5 years and I do not want to leave. The kids have friends here. Jacob's 1st and best buddy is here...some of you may have heard Jacob mention him, his name is Austin :o)
Yeah right, you don't usually see one with out the other. Just the fact that they would be at different schools until 6th grade was depressing enough! But to be 150 miles away??? We went on vacation to Branson last week so they didn't see each other on Wed., Thurs or Sunday and Jacob received a letter in the mail from Austin with a picture and a note saying he missed him.
Well to make a long story short, I think the letter (along with me crying every day) put Todd over the edge and he decided not to accept the job. Actually he said it just didn't feel right at this time. So yea! We are staying!
Oh and did I mention that my youngest will be in Kindergarten all day this year and that my baby girl is a 6th grader?!
Needless to say I've been a little emotional for the past month. :o)
So that is what has been going on.
And since it doesn't feel right to post w/o a picture, I'll leave you with this A-DOR-ABLE pic I found of Jacob the other night. He's around two here and really cheesing it up. I can't believe he's not going to be home at least part of the day with me! What will I do with all that alone time? Hmmmm...Todd got a supervisor job there and it is a great move up for him. I, on the other hand was totally devastated.
