Last week in Louisiana ..

Today marks the last full week we will be in our home we built and in the state of Louisiana.  Its going to be an emotional week that is for sure.

Luis and I started disassembling all of our outdoor potted plants.  I had to hold back tears.  Everything has been sort of surreal up until this point.  My last day at my current job is Friday the 28th.  I never thought I would be saying those words - my last day.  I know this week is going to fly by and be twice as hectic and full of all kinds of things popping up, but I know I will cry come Friday.  I mean, I was holding back tears throwing old flowers away yesterday!

All of our closest neighbors came out to talk with us, and it was so sad!  I wish I could just pack them with us!  Don't get me wrong, somethings I will never miss about here, but there are several things I will.

This upcoming Saturday, we are going to have our last yard sale here at the house.  A lot of people wait to see our address in the paper. ( I think I got the niche from my Mom and Aunt Cheryl)  We (Luis and I) have come to the understanding that we are not packing a bunch of needless things to Dallas.  We have done that before and its too  much work.  Whatever doesn't sell in this yard sale or I cannot give it way will be going to Goodwill.  I only need to pack the things we are going to be using for the next 30 days and everything else will be taken to storage on April 2nd.

I will be writing my resignation letters for my job at Finley Periodontics and for my treasurer position for Miramar Homeowners Assoc.  Both will be bittersweet while each has had its ups and downs, I will miss both - maybe not the job so much but the most of the people involved within both I will miss!

Today I am spending organizing things from the attic that our friend Johneric came and helped get down with Luis - I have NO balance on a ladder! And get the garage ready for the garage sale. I plan to take the cat kids out in their new kennel so that they can get used to being in it and they can enjoy the nice breeze in their furs!
