I've been going through all the various scenarios through my head:
House sells in a few weeks - Brad and Allie come out to Salt Lake with me in no time (highly unlikely)
House takes forever to sell - Brad and Allie stay in Augusta for an extended period of time without me (more likely)
Salt Lake City roommate and family will like me enough to invite Allie to come out and I find a daycare for Allie - just the two of us until the house sells (unlikely)
House takes forever to sell - my mom and Brad realize how miserable I am without Allie and my mom offers to come out to Salt Lake with Allie until Brad can move out (unlikely)
There are a few more scenarios, but they all have the same gist - me being away from Allie for an extended period of time. I seem to be obsessing about this lately and I have to keep reminding myself that God will provide for me and everything is in His hands. My mind still continues to wander. In the end, I'm going to let things be because I have to, but also because I trust that God has a plan mapped out for me. I just need to let this Type A mindset go....shooo Type A - go away!
In the end - I do wish I could just scoop everyone up and take them with me. It would definitely make next week easier when I have to leave. But I'm looking at my leaving as a much needed road trip for some female bonding. I'll deal with each day as it comes. Still makes me wish I could scoop them up, especially when I have these images to look at!
I've said it before, but one of the biggest unspoken joys of having kids is the joy that your kids bring your own parents. I love watching my mom and Allie play together and just enjoy each other's company. Seriously makes my heart stop and just slowly melt!





I'm completely ignorant of house buying and house selling, but isn't there a way for all of you to get out to Utah and let a realtor take care of the house? In the mean time, I'll send prayers and good thoughts up for you all for this time of transition.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that we can't afford a house in South Carolina and a house in Utah at the same time!
