Before I go.....

I know it's been a while since I posted last but I've just been so busy. Emotionally I'm completly drained. Poor Cassie, bless her little heart. She's just so sad. Today was their last day of school. I gave her a hankie to put in her pocket this morning. I waited for her outside of her classroom door and when she came out her little eyes were so puffy and her hankie was all wet. I've walked her in to her room the past couple of mornings since she's been feeling so bad. I wished yesterday that I hadn't though. When I walked in, her best friend through her arms around my waist, laid her head on my chest, and begged me not to take her away :(. She started to tear up and then Cassie walked over and started to. Shortly after another little girl walked up and threw her arms around them. I'm in the middle all the while. Now that was heartbreaking :(. I've tried to make her feel better but I'm not sure that I can. I've been horribly sad about moving away from my BF of..let's see...forever.... and I know that nobody's been able to make me feel better. I just wish we could fast forward a week because this past one has been incredibly hard and what stinks is, we've not even gotten to the hardest goodbyes yet. We closed opn both houses yesterday so the one here in Texas is officially somebody elses and the one in Virginia is officially ours. We had to rent back our house here for a few days. I have no idea when we'll have an internet connection so I don't know when I'll be back. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks but we'll see what happens. For those of you who pray, I would greatly appreciate any prayers you can offer up for us to get through this. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be. I know kids bounce back quick but it's breaking my heart to see Cassie so sad. We're leaving early Monday morning and plan to be at our new house by lunch on Wednesday. It's almost a 1,500 mile drive so we thought it would be better to break it up rather than to do so much driving in a short period of time...especially for the kids and the animals. Now let's see if I can get through the next hour without needing my hankie, shall we? There's a huge moving truck sitting in front of the house so I guess I really should go finish packing. Until we meet again.....
