The big move

So we made it to Massachusetts.  Adderly and I flew in, the rest of the family will be driving out.  I have now promised several people that in addition to my normal introspections (actually probably just talking to myself), I will also keep people up to date with the goings on of our family (which probably means pictures as well.)  Who knew that to get a blog following you just need to move across the country.  I guess my life just wasn't that interesting before.

So I am far from a big city girl; okay actually a country girl.  So nothing like getting wet by diving right in.  We decided not only to fly to Boston, but to use the local transit system to get home.  Navigating the bus, the subway and the commuter rail was a little unnerving, but we survived - and smiled along the way.  Normally I pack quite light, but in order to get all of our belongings here we had to pack a little heavy.  Addie wasn't loving the 2 bag luggage idea as she had to carry them both, but she was a trooper and kept up well.
                                                         
 
                                             
             I am so excited to have a week                With just Addie.  We are going
             to head shopping, and then just                hang for a bit.  I haven't had
            down time in a while so I am                   looking forward to some
                                                             quiet time.

 So again, small town girl - I thought the train station was cool.  Actual tracks with different trains on each one.  Everyone standing around waiting for their train to come in.  Even the conductors were dressed well - like conductors.  I felt like I was in a movie or something.  It was actually really fun.

Once we had some time to settle into our house sitting, I was able to reflect on how much I love my family.  It sounds awesome to have some quiet time but it gets really quiet really fast.  Sometimes family life can get a bit crazy - but those are the times we remember.  At the end of the day, or in these quiet moment it's the memories that count.

I also had some time to laugh at myself.  I'm not sure how my husband or my MA's put up with me.  I've found myself to be quite a slob.  I woke up this morning to dishes in the sink, cupboards open, and dirty floors.  Who made such a mess I thought, then I had to giggle, because I'm the only one here.  Can't very well blame someone else for this one.  I never realized just how much Stuart did until he wasn't here.  And Heidi/Lindsey sorry about all the open cupboards, I'm sure you went behind me all day closing everything I left open in absentmindedness.
