Missouri here we come...

The time has finally come! We are somewhat excited for our move in two days, however we're really starting to feel a little anxious. Ty and I keep having to reassure ourselves every morning that we can make this final move. We are usually pretty good movers and can usually adapt where ever we are, but this move is a scary one for us. I think it's because even though we've moved 5 times in our short year and a half of marriage, we've always been fortunate to have a lot of friends or family around... or friends who feel like family. This time we only know one family. One great family.. but one family all the same. It's also been hard saying our final goodbye to Utah. This summer out here has flown by so fast it seems like we didn't get nearly enough time with everyone!! It just gives you all an excuse to come out and visit us though right?
For all of you who are wondering, here are the Foster's plans for the next couple weeks...

Friday morning at 6:45 my little sister Brie and I will fly to Tallahassee. We have a 5 hour wait at the airport if we are lucky (we are flying standby- so a lot of you will probably get a call from me). My dad is meeting us down there Friday night some time and then early Saturday morning we will pack up the van we rented with all of the stuff we have in storage and at friends houses out there, go visit with my grandad for a little bit, and then start the 18 hour drive from Florida to Missouri.

Tyrone will leave after he drops us off at the airport Friday morning around 5am and drive straight through to Missouri. He plans to get to there sometime Friday night and stay at our friends house that night. Saturday he is going to look at all of the houses, townhouses, and apartments we've been looking at over the Internet the last couple of months and hopefully find one for a great price in a great neighborhood that we can move into by Sunday when my dad, Brie and I get there with the rest of our stuff.

Exciting huh? But wait... there's more..

We'll then have 3 days to help Tyrone unpack all the stuff and get our place set up before I leave for New York/PA for two and a half weeks. Why am I leaving my husband to fend for himself for 2 1/2 weeks?

Two reasons:

1. I got a call today for a baby nurse job in NY for 5 days and since I don't have a job yet in Missouri the extra $1000 will be really helpful. I keep saying I'm not going to do these jobs anymore because it's to hard to be away from Ty for so long... but the money keeps sucking us in.

2. My little nieces just got released from the hospital today (they are finally a little over 4 pounds!) but my mom will be going out of town and so my sister will need help with the babies while she's gone.

You can't imagine how excited I am to hold and kiss my little nieces!! Only one more week! I just feel bad I won't be there on Tyrone's first day of Chiropractic school and feel like I won't really be seeing him much this next month. It might be good though that he won't have me there to distract him for his first two weeks of school :)

Well, we will miss all of you and hope you can come visit us soon!

Wish us luck!!
