Saying Goodbye = Saaaaaaaaaaaaad

With the house on M St. entirely packed up (Thanks Dad and Sy) and the house completely cleaned (Thanks Mom and Robbie) we were able to leave Grants Pass a whole day early in the latter part of March. I thought that it would be really hard to leave Grants Pass and our little home but, to be brutally honest, it was a huge relief. Our economical portion of life had become such a crippling issue that it was difficult to have fun at even the simplist things in life. And as usual, it the people that it's the most difficult to say good-bye to.
 
This is at Bekki's home where we all lounged around for the day before we boarded the plane to San Diego.
My mom offered to take our long term traveling cat, Y'all. The apartment we had waiting for us didn't accept animals AND in her near 12 years, this cat has moved so many times that I didn't think her sanity could handle one more test. Though it was hard to hand her over, I know that Y'all has been purring ever since.


 
Bekki kept Alden busy while I checked in our bags at the airport. We were all a sobbing mess by the time it came to depart. It's astonishing what kind of control you have to keep, though, so you can show your child that it's ok to move on. I didn't want him to focus on the good bye but the huge HELLO we were anticipating on the other end. Dustin was eagerly awaiting us in San Diego!
