The Countdown Begins!

Well the countdown is on! In a little less than two weeks Allie and I will begin the move to SC and finally be "home" with Bill. It was definitely nice to have him come home this past weekend and surprise Allie, she really needed to see him. She wasn't sleeping through the night anymore and was waking up for hours at a time just wanting to play and watch Elmo. She would also come over and touch my hair or my nails and it also seemed like she was making sure I was still around and hadn't gone anywhere. She lit up like a Christmas tree the minute she saw Bill and within an hour she was asleep on him in the recliner and slept like that for over 3 hours so it must have been comforting for her to see him! But this morning I drove him back to the airport and he's already back in SC. It will be hard but I've started packing and now the apartment is just where we sleep and eat, it's not our home anymore, or at least it doesn't feel like it. Everything is off the walls and boxes are everywhere. I thought I'd be more upset about packing but at this point I just want to get to Myrtle Beach and be with Bill and get set up in the new place. I am SO excited to decorate Allies new room and make it all cute and set up the new apartment. I wish I had the money to go out and buy all new furniture and decorations but that is absolutely not in the budget! We don't have a ton of money but we pay our bills no problem and are able to do fun things and go out to eat but that won't be the case for a while since I'm not working. Hopefully what I make in the last few weeks of work and then my vacation payout money is enough to get us through a few months of hard times. But money doesn't equal happiness, I know that. Just being with Bill and Allie together again and in our new place is going to bring happiness and the day to move can't come soon enough!
