It’s strange to think that on the first day of the New Year we are a family in transition. I am sitting here typing on my laptop as the sun is setting in an empty living room as a truck stops outside to pick up a flyer next to the “for sale” sign in the yard. Please, be the one! I didn’t think at this point our family would be split across two continents.
We have had such a good visit and it has been so nice taking a break from work that it is hard to imagine getting on the plane this Sunday. Our good friend B drove up from Alabama to spend the evening of the 28th and the 29th with us. She got to partake in one of our “clean the house for a potential buyer” moments when we got a call from our realtor on the 29th. She then stayed with A on the night of the 30th so we could go away for our anniversary, probably the best ever. I am forever grateful to her for that.
Last night for New Year’s Eve, A attended her first party, a sleepover at her best friend’s. It was the first New Year’s Eve that we have ever spent without her. Inevitably, now she is fast asleep on the couch because they were up all night so I’m taking advantage of the quiet.
The B&B owners are travelling to U.S. today for a vacation for a few weeks. P has been here before but L has never been. I’m feeling a bit nervous, hoping that they have a good visit and L leaves with a good impression. Somehow I feel responsible!
