The move is scheduled

So I scheduled our move to Missouri this morning. Part of me is jumping with joy that there is now a bright light at the end of the tunnel and part of me is stunned and saddened that this day is here. We have known for so long that we would move at some time to some place but had no clue when or where. It was so much easier to accept when it was just something we talked about. It will be hard to leave behind everything I have known for my whole life. My family, friends, coworkers, church and neighbors all will stay here and we will start this journey alone. Which means we will have the chance to develop all these relationships with new people and places together. We will be able to find our favorite places together and make our new home what we want it to. That part will be fun! Never fear, we will be back to Iowa a lot. How could we not? We will only be 31/2 hours away and with a new baby I am sure we will be required to come back for visits often! So I should probably get to when we are moving. We are closing in Missouri on the 13th of October. We will pack and load October 14th and 15th and everything will be delivered on the 16th.
Clint and I both love Iowa and will miss everything and everyone very much but we are excited for the new chapter and hope you will all make appearances in it often!

oh, man! i don't know how you're feeling, but i'm sure it's really hard. you're right, the idea of doing it all again is new and refreshing, and the idea of leaving the familiar is a deep tummy feeling. it's exciting that you get to do this completely together. your new house is super cute! good luck finding a good baby doctor down there. i'm sure you have already scouted many out. i haven't seen you in like ages, but it will stink knowing you are far away. i can't wait to stay updated on how things are going. you're planning will come in handy, that's for sure. (you need to blog more!)

okay, phillippe said i could have written this much in a email, but hey, it's fun to get comments on your blog! have fun with all this new stuff. i'll be thinking about you, i check this everyday, so i'll know right away all the good/not so good happening in your life. take care lady!
