As September begins, the air around here is filled with a new sense of direction. Strangely, there was a cool breeze blowing this morning as the kids swung on their swings and I thought about life here in Dudley, GA without my other half. Pete left yesterday to begin his new job in Columbia, SC. So, today is strewn with a tinge of sadness, but also a feeling of relief that this whole process has finally begun! I know I shouldn't be so sad, we'll see him again on Friday and he'll be back for the weekend. But then after that he will most likely be gone for two weeks of training in Missouri! And then back in Columbia for a week and Missouri for two and same thing again the following three weeks for a grand total of six weeks in Missouri.
We decided that if the house doesn't sell by November 1st, (which is a long shot) then the kids, dogs and I will pack up our things and we'll all get an apartment together in Columbia. At least there is a bit of an end in sight. So much to do, so much to plan!
On a happier note, Nate starts school tomorrow! I am so excited for him, as he really does enjoy going. It will be nice to have some one on one time with Jules too.
So that is it for now, I'll be back again soon!
Love, Kate

what an exciting time in your family. Joe leaves tomorrow for his big interview in AZ. (FINGERS CROSSED) We as strong family seem to always come out happier, and even stronger on the other side of challenge. You two are wonderful parents who nurture and care for Nate and Jules so much. Every move you make is with love. You all will do great! Just love on those babies when you miss Pete, and GET THAT HOUSE SOLD! (ask whom ever buys it if they want a 2nd house in Hartsille too!) ha ha.
Hello -- what a great plan! Two months will fly by so fast, and now that you have something to look forward to (a firm date), you will be too busy getting things ready for the move. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Did you list with Curry after all? Our realtor was great. Is Pete's company involved in the sale of your home? I'm thrilled for you guys.
