Moving?

First off I want to apologize that I've been to busy to pay much attention to blogging, (reading and writing). I ended up going down to the kids' right after dad's funeral. I was there for a couple weeks and made some life-changing plans. Most of you probably already know but just in case anyone doesn't know....I'M MOVING to Texas. But...the reason for the ? mark behind moving in the title is because I haven't been approved by the apartment complex yet. The rent is income-based so they have to verify that I don't have more than what I told them. (and I don't).lol Waiting is stressful for me because so much hinges on the approval...giving notice here, changing my social security to new bank, making arrangements for a mover and the list goes on!!!! Now faction into that...I am a very inpatient waiter anyway, when I decide I want something, I want it yesterday!

My new home will be within a mile of Stacy, Sherri, and Elizabeth. Yippeeeee! It is a new gated senior community, single story. The apartments have granite countertops, a granite computer desk, laminated wood flooring, pedestal sink and walk-in shower, kitchen and bathroom pantries, frost-free refrigerator freezer with ice maker, built in microwave, dishwasher and lots of kitchen cabinets, also bedroom has large walk-in closet. They have connections for washer-dryer hookups and rent the washers and dryers...it might sound strange to some of you but I am so excited that I will have a washer and dryer again after 10 years of not having them. It also has vaulted ceilings.

The clubhouse or common area that I will have key remote for entrance 24 hours a day has a fitness center, hot tub, game room, arts and crafts room, theater, library with 2 computers. There is also a swimming pool. I am sooooooo excited!

BUT....seems like there is always a but, doesn't it? This leaves baby sister here without me and this will be hard on both of us. We've been so close for going on 5 years even though we didn't always see each other that often but we talk almost every day and we'll still have each other at the other end of the phone. She is happy for me that I will be closer to see Elizabeth growing up.
The other side of the coin is that my move will put me closer to middle sis (please no comment to the word middle lol). I will be less than 3 hours away form her, that's close enough for even a day trip.

Anyhow...now you all know what's going on in my life. I need to get off here because my packing helper (Michelle) will probably be here within an hour. I am getting rid of everything that I cannot manage by myself after my move.
PLEASE PRAY THAT I GET APPROVAL VERY SOON!!! LOVE YOU ALL!

  1. Thanks for the update. We were just talking about this last night6 and wondering how things stood. Moves like these always bring a mix of good and bad things, but the chance to be near Stacy, Sherri & Elizabeth is a wonderful thing. Whitney has been blessed with the chance to live close to one set of Grandparents....something I never had as a kid. I adored my grandparents, but I never had the chance to stay with them like my cousins did. She and Mom have wonderful memories that only come from regular, extended visits. It is so great you will have that chance with Elizabeth.
