Hey Ladies and Ron (if he still comes around here?)
Just wanted to check in and say hi and bye before I head out on the road again
It is a good thing this time though! So just a semi short fill in on the insanity in our lives right now.
As most of you all know my mom passed away a month ago today. It has been hard but God is holding us up. We were here the week of the funeral in Dallas and then headed home (we had already been here most of the month before she passed too) and as soon as we got home I got a call from my dad to talk to me about my grandmother. Well she has onset alzheimers but it was worse than we had thought, and we found this out having her here with us the week of the funeral. So he wanted to talk to me about what to do with her as she was living in Ok in an apartment of her own (Not a good idea) So we discussed this and decided we had no choice but to get her to Dallas but I also let him know real quick he couldnt do this alone since he had been so so worn down (and I do not mean that in a bad way) with all the care he had to do to take care of my mom the last 4 yrs.
So hubby came to me 2 weeks ago and told me he had really been thinking about this and praying about it and there was no choice we had to do something... Now this is my country boy hubby who swore the day he married me he would never ever ever live in Dallas... he said well hun, we have no choice we have to move to Dallas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Dallas native jumped up so high and havent landed yet!!!!!!! I have prayed and prayed to get back to here soon and it has finally happened!!!!
So we called my dad and he was so happy as he didnt have the nerve to ask us but he knew he couldnt take care of my grandmother and all that entails and work the hours he does it is impossible. So we got us a house (how that came to being is totally and act of God but I wont bore yall with all the details right now as this is another of my books I know yall probably hate lol...) but we got a house 4 blocks from my dad and I had always wanted a house just like my parents well... I got it!!!! Exact color, floorplan even down to the landscaping is exact! And totally a gift from God! I am so excited! So we move in on the 15th and this is definitaly our final move.... we are set now and my grandmother will be living with us 3 days a week (days my dad works) and my dad 4 days a week and we now begin this new adventure in our lives.
I know it will be a journey and a rough one I am sure but I was not able to take care of my mom during her hardest times so I am going to do what I can for my grandmother and my dad too and this is just the way it has to be. I am honestly excited to be able to do this and not be having to place her in a nursing home... I have had my share of those in the last 3 yrs with mom in and out of them and I wouldnt send my worst enemy to any of them in Dallas.
So nuff of my ramblings I just wanted to check in as I am heading home to Jacksonville tomorrow to begin packing my house and then back here, well to Oklahoma wed to pack my grandmother and move her this coming weekend and then home to move us the following weekend. So I will check in here and there but otherwise I hope to be back online in about 3 weeks... yep they have internet here in Dallas LOL... unlike where we live and they wanted 800 dollars to install wireless otherwise you couldnt get anything but dialup... Thank God for the city!!!!
Did everyone have a good 4th of July?
