A Farewell to (the Boy's) Arms

It's been quite a week, indeed. We've been thinking of and praying for various friends and relatives as they go through some spectacularly shitty times. We've spent pretty much every waking moment preparing for the realtor walkthrough before we list the house, and though that's been done, we still have a massive amount of painting to do to prep for putting the house on the market. It's been like Life has suspended lately. It's all we've been doing.

Tomorrow the Boy is heading down to Cincinnati, and tonight is the last night he'll live in this house (as in have all his stuff and clothes here and stay here mostly). Sad... Though he'll be coming back every weekend, we'll miss each other during the week. Realistically, it's probably better that he be able to start the new job without distraction, and I can concentrate on preparing and selling the house. Good thing we have free cell phone minutes between our phones, though. Also, it will be an opportunity to add mushy emails to my treasured "Mushy Emails From Boy" collection.

Bye, best friend. Thank goodness for phones and email.

Holler at us if you're lonesome, Steph. We can't make up for the Boy, but we are very good at distraction!

Sounds like you guys have been working on the house non-stop, I'm sure the kitchen looks fabulous though. I can't wait to see the before/after kitchen pics. I hope that Ed has a great start to the new job. I'm sure it will be weird/sad to not see him during the week! Steve and I would love to see you at some point before you head down to Ohio...
