Take a deep breath...

Wow....this been a crazy week. Yesterday was such a difficult day for me. I had to say "see you soon" to so many of my wonderful friends. I thought I was doing so good in the morning, but as the day progressed, it was hard to take.

Thank you so much Kelli and Leslie for your latest blog entries. Kelli - yours made me cry, Leslie - yours made me laugh. We have had such great times together, but I know in my heart many more are to come. Hopefully, no lesbian stalkers are in my future in North Carolina :) But, Bret Michaels will always remain close to me, literally, ha!

I called my Mom on the way to the airport, she was in CVS, I made her start crying and she had to put on her sunglasses "in the store" and said everyone was starring at her :) She keeps reminding me that true friends are forever and I truly do believe that. It makes me smile to think of what wonderful relationships and friendships I have gained... okay... now I am crying again because I already miss everyone so deeply.

Thank you Kelli, Brynn, Stephanie and Leslie for the picture, it really meant a lot to me. It put a great big smile on my face this morning. Side note - I was wondering why everyone was going to "look at the beans" and didn't invite me :) I love all of you!

Our flight into Baltimore went well last night. I was so exhausted I didn't even get nervous about flying. Other passengers were so great to Lijah. One man gave Lijah a dollar and the free spirited girl that sat next to us said she had never seen a child so excited to fly and said he had a "beautiful energy", yah... it's called being a two year old. Lijah didn't sleep the entire flight!

Speaking of Lijah, he turned 2 1/2 yesterday! He has grown up so much and he makes us giggle everyday. He truly is our pride and joy.

I wanted to thank my wonderful husband. Through all of this, he has been so great! He has been such a rock and support system for me. He said in the beginning we will get through this stressful move as a great team and we have been nothing short of that. We haven't argued once, and he even left the cutest VM for me yesterday pre-apologizing if he got cranky. But, he was all smiles which gave me peace of mind.

I hope our wonderful daycare provider reads this one day. Francine, you truly have been an angel to Lijah. He loves coming to "school" and I know you both share the same big heart! We appreciate all you have done and thank you for being who you are! We will be sure to visit when we come to town.

I suppose it is time to sign-off for now. I am going to try to catch the last 20 minutes of "who's my baby daddy" on Maury that I will have a fun-filled hour of Dr. Phil.

P.S. Stephanie/Kelli - give a shot out to Creepy-Creep when you see him, his true identity will always remain an unsolved mystery.
