Changes

A picture-less post with an update on all of the changes for our family!

Over Memorial Day weekend we bade good-bye to Florida and moved all of our stuff to Charlotte, North Carolina. We unloaded the truck into a storage unit. Tony found a roommate in Charlotte and the kids and I are staying with my parents in Indiana for the summer. We found a commercial property for Tony's office and he will sign the lease within the next week or so! After that he begins the process of drawing up plans (the space is an empty suite that basically has a concrete floor so we can build it out just the way we want to), meeting with an architect, contractors, etc. Then the permitting process begins and we have to wait for construction to be finished. Tony needs to be present to oversee all of this. We can reduce our living expenses significantly by staying with my parents, so that is what we decided to do.

Tony spent a week with us here in Indiana and I took him to the airport yesterday. Not looking forward to the time away from him, but it isn't that long and it's necessary for us to accomplish our goals. So we're all sucking it up and doing it. :)

And a cute Kaiya story... a few posts ago I mentioned her imitating Cinderella and fake crying. Well, she saw my tears after dropping Tony off at the airport. As I was buckling Kaleb back in his seat she looked over at me and said, "Oh Mommy. Oh No! ELLA!" Translated: Oh, poor mommy, you are acting like Cinderella. I laughed and said, "Did you just call me Cinderella?" She started smiling and said, "Yesh." Translated: Yes.

Hi there, Cinderella!
I'll sure be praying for you and for Tony. Not an easy time for you, but it will pass quickly. Please tell your folks hello for us. If your mom has email, maybe you could email sometime too. : )
