it's been a while

Well the past month has been a nightmare on our nerves. Both Deb and I were overloaded with tasks to complete on our own with selling the house in Jax and buying the house in Knox. We both experienced stress that no one should ever have to deal with. If we were together during all of it, we might have been able to handle it OK. We each had to shoulder the burden alone. I had no one up here to help me, or even talk to. She thought she was going to have people to help her down there but everyone bailed on her. I felt so helpless and so alone... and so did she.
But we made it. The houses sold. Deb made it up here in one piece. When she got here we hugged and we cried so hard. We're glad it's over. The movers finally arrived with our stuff (mostly) intact a few days ago. We finally had our first home cooked dinner last night at the dining table and it was a very happy moment for us. We still have to unpack all the boxes, but that's a fairly low-stress task we can handle.
We miss everyone back in Jax so much.
