We've been here for 1 week and it already feels like forever. The drive went really well, much better than I expected. We made it to Boise by the first night and we were at our new home by the next day 6:00 p.m. Even with the U-haul going soooo slow it wasn't that bad. The kids were angels. Leaving Tuesday morning was the hardest part. Braden was sobbing. A couple of days later he said he didn't mind moving, but he didn't like saying goodbye to his friends. As we pulled away all of them were standing in Jessica's doorway waving goodbye. It was one of the worst experiences I've ever had.
Now that we're a little more settled and most of the unpacking is done the lonliness is settling in. I knew this was coming but it doesn't make it any easier. I wish I could take Braden's pain away and I wish the urge to just get in the van and go back would go away.

This blog made me cry. Of course, I have cried a lot since you moved. Just yesterday I thought, "I ought to drive down to see the Bauers" then realized I couldn't! I hate having you so far away! I don't think I appreciated having you so close! I miss you!

I cried even before reading the blog. I just felt like my little family was moving even further from me. I sooo wanted to go with them. I keep my eye to my next visit in June.
Everytime I drive by your house I feel so sad-You are very missed but I am sure that you will be a blessing to the people you are around at your new home. You are such an awesome person.

Hey Girl--- Moving stinks! We've lived in Colorado for almost 2 yrs now and I still hear almost everyday from Jacob, "Mommy can't I visit Sayer tomorrow?" (His best bud in Waco.) It takes me about a year to feel settled in a new place, but as you know, it's all in your attitude. Press onward and upward, enjoy and love your family, & before you know it you'll be settled in and lovin' it. Hugs from the Shumate's!!!!!
