It's Starting to Feel Real

[peanutsmom323]

We've given notice to our landlord. I put in a reservation for a moving truck. Dh gave his notice to his boss. I wrote mine up but forgot to give it to my boss before I left work last night. (Probably best since he was in a bad mood anyway.) Brandon's leaving tomorrow for Austin, where hopefully he'll find and sign a lease on an apartment for us. I wish I was going wit him but I'm stuck here working for the weekend. I'm having a hard time trusting him to make such a huge decision for the family on his own, but I don't really feel like I have another choice.

Either my stress or excitement level is really on the rise. I'm not sure I can tell the difference between the two anymore. It's probably a little of both. I feel like there's no turning back at this point. Not that I want to stay here anyway. It's just such a big move and a lot of changes to come in our lives. I'm just hoping everything will fall into place and work out for us. I think I'll feel a ton better if he comes home with a guarantee for a place to live in one of the school districts we want. Despite all the anxiety, I'm finding myself looking forward to being back in Austin more and more. I really have missed it.

The really good news is we're hopefully getting the job fixing the property the neighbors trashed, to the tune of about $4000. Dh's dropping off the proposal right now. That will be a really nice cushion to leave town on. I really hope it works out for us.
