Moving Out but not Moving In

a HUGE thank you to my wonderful friend Jess who generously offered her house for my family to rent for 5 months. Not many friends would leave their own house so you, your husband, 2 kids, and a dog could move right in and take it over. And, we're still friends. Going from a friend to a landlord/renter relationship could put a strain on a friendship, but we made it through with flying colors. And, not to mention, Scout, our dog, and a room full of stuff still reside at her house. That's going above and beyond! We had a great stay on Eastmead but our move to Birch is delayed for...I don't really know.

We are now nomads. With most of our stuff still in storage, we packed what we needed and headed to Brent's parents' house for a few days. Then, on to the next house. It happens that another friend and her family are going out of town and my family will be staying there and taking care of their pets and protecting their house. We will be there human alarms while they are gone. This will put us close to our new house so we can hurry the workers along, if that's possible. Anyway, we are waiting patiently for everything to be complete. I know it will all be worth it once we move in. Stay tuned for more updates!
