Jet Setters

Miles and I are getting ready for a quick trip to DFW tomorrow. We're flying up in the morning and home in the evening, meeting with a realtor, renting our own little car, and eating out for lunch AND dinner. Should Miles wear a business suit? :)

The best part is, we're looking at HOUSES! Because yes, dear friends, who have stayed with me through thick and thin, we are, in fact, MOVING. And we are excited. And sad. But trying not to dwell on the fact that we're leaving so much behind. It's not that far from here, hopefully our local friends will come visit. You know who you are. :)

We're trying to dwell on the fact that Neal is actually finishing his quasi-lifetime of schooling and getting a good job. Dwelling on the fact that he will no longer be performing slave labor at the dental school. That people will pay him to do root canals instead of us paying them. Dwelling on the amazing blessing it is that we sold our house. Dwelling on how wonderful it feels to have made it this far and have been happy the whole time, despite our perpetual student status and our constant refrain of "when we're done with school . . . " or "maybe when Daddy gets a job, you can start karate (or insert other parental promise here)" . . . We feel like life is finally really getting going for us, and we couldn't be more excited.

We'll be moving mid-June, taking a couple of weeks to settle in and visit family, then Neal will get started.

We're off to find a house; wish me and Miles luck!
