Day 5

Day 5 of my stay in the beautiful town of Mount Pleasant, SC.
It is kind of surreal, to be driving around town thinking:
"Wow! I am going to be driving these streets a LOT!
That is going to be the Publix I shop at!
That mall is going to see a lot of me! hehe!..."

I remember when we used to drive up for our wedding preparations before our big day.
I was in LOVE with this town!
We used to always daydream about the day we were going to move up. We used to talk about it non-stop.

And look! The time has come!

We are going to be official South Carolina residents in a matter of days!!!!!


Ok, let me rewind a little and go back a few days...

Last Saturday was such an eventful day for me.
My emotions were all over the place, to say the least.

First I dropped my beautiful mother at the Fort Lauderdale airport. It was just so sad to know that was going to be the last time she stayed at my house in Delray. We had so many great times this past year and a half in my lovely little house.

Then after spending a little time at the house, I drove up to West Palm beach to pick up my sweet husband, who had been gone all week, as usual now.

And at night, I went to a Bye Bye Bunco game w my Boca/Delray mommy group friends! It was for them to say Bye Bye to me :-(
I had a phenomenal time, like I always do!
These girls are just such a joy. They even had a cake for me!
It was definitely sad to hug them goodbye!

4am Sunday came and we got ready, carried the baby to his car seat and started our journey to SC.

Met with Mandy, Skylar and Davin at the Crackell Barrel for breakfast (in Jacksonville). WE had a GREAT time!!!! They are all so cute!!! I was left wanting more, to say the least!

Then we continued our drive up.
I have to say, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
It wasn't bad AT ALL!
Baby J did AMAZING!!!
(thanks to the new phonics dvd I had playing)

The anticipation of going inside my future house was just driving me nuts! I know I had seen the pictures (24 to be exact) over and over, but still!

Then we finally met w the landlord outside and went in! yey!
Such a lovely, nice, big house!
I dont know if it was worse after I had seen it - cause now I am just desperate to bring all my stuff and move in!!!

Anyways, we have spent the week here.
Daddy working, of course.

Little by little, I have been getting aquainted with the area. I even drove myself to the Town Center (yes, the same name as the one I go in Boca) Mall and did not get lost!
(well, I have to admit, I had a whole page with Very very detailed directions and Jodi on the phone guiding me through)
Haha! but the point is, I can go there now without getting lost!
(oh! and its only like 10 minutes away! lol)
Oh well, I am still gonna feel good about it no matter what!

Anyways, tomorrow we get to spend the day together (that is if Jodi doesn't go golfing w Xtian) and then Sunday we drive back down to my Florida.



It's been fun

....watching two little boys do their thing, which half an hr ago was giving each other wedgies in their power ranger and cowboy costumes.

....watching Jonathan try to play with them like he was a big boy too.

....sleeping in a full size bed, all 3 of us!

and just picturing our life over here!

Oh and big news!
I am going to be an auntie!!!
Nina and Vic are pregnant.

I found out at the same time she did!
Just like when I took the test with her on the phone!
How exciting was that?!!!
I was as nervous I think as I was when I was the one counting every second that went by, waiting for that little window to say something!
She started hyperventilating, just like I did and saying "Jenise! Jenise! It says pregnant!!!"

Nina is having a BABY!
Those that know her, know exactly how funny/odd that sounds!!
lol

Well, it's been a few months for me since they have been on baby mode, so I have had a little more time to get used to it.

For all of the rest of you guys (that know her too) y'all have 9 months to get used to it!
No more allergy to kids!!!
whohooo!!!
Everything IS possible ladies and gentlemen!
haha!

Anyways, enough teasing her! I am so so so anxious already to meet this baby!!!

Ok - time to finish this post.
I leave you all with a picture of my soon to be new home!
I can't wait to get the keys!!!
