Last day at school

Today is Olivia's last day at Church High girls school. It just feels like yesterday I was dropping her off (well, it was only January). She was really excited to see her friends and hug them goodbye. When I dropped her off, the school was in an assembly. It was so cute to see how excited she was to join them in the hall to sing. I will miss this school...the experience of Olivia being part of an all girls school, the lovely teachers, and the manors they instilled in my daughter (let's just say, Liv was a bit of a Tom boy to start with...and still is in some degree..but has learned to play with other little girls). I told her I would get some nice bouquets from our favourite florist, the secret garden, so she can give them to her teachers. My mind could not think of something creative, so bouquets it is. One thing about moving, saying goodbyes in stages is hard!

Now that we have a huge chunk of stuff sorted I feel I can relax a bit. I still only have 2 weeks until our car needs to be sold. I put an ad up on gumtree, but no joy yet. This weekend we will put an ad on autotrader and see what happens. Our last stop is taking it to the Ford dealership we bought it from. I guess we will reserve that for our last day of insurance. Hopefully it will sell before then. I have various bits and bobs I need to sell.some which being up emotions as I hadn't thought of bringing them out of the loft for the shipping company. These items are big and bulky, and since our new apartment doesn't have a loft, and there won't be masses if space, I won't have anywhere to put it. I'm going to give myself a few days off of planning for sanity purposes and enjoy a movie with Chris and Ben and Jerry's tonight. We have a date night planned for Friday night which is exciting. And then another double date booked in for the following Friday night. I really think its important to stay connected as a couple during these moving times. We are a unit, making huge decisions for our family together. As lovely as other people's opinions are, it is Chris and I who, with God, have chosen to move to America.  We firmly believe this is Gods will and His best for our family. I doubt anyone else has prayed about this move as much as we have... All this in ind, these dates are important for us to reconnect and share our fears, excitement and dreams together.

Well, I must get going. I have a headache and I want to relax a bit before the rest of this day unfolds.
