It has been a week

 We have survived a week! Week since Sara, my sunshine moved out. Today I finally feel strong enough that won't break down and cry right away.  I don't have an odd empty feeling in my tummy and I'm rested and not so crazy emotional.  It wasn't an easy week but now moving forward into the next week of the new adventure that is front of us all in our own ways.

Here is a quick re-cap with a few photos from last Saturday, on move in day.


Heading out of Flagstaff with Sara in front of us.....


Sara had a buddy ride with her to Phoenix :)


Its very hot and she is realizing how hot it is...we are sitting out in the parking lot of Target drinking something cool and eating a-little breakfast while we wait for the apartment office to open.


A nice greeting into their new home!


We took a break from moving Sara and break from the heat, her ac was not working so it made moving day really miserable with the heat.  We headed to a restaurant for lunch and drinks.


Me and my beautiful girls....who both now live in Phoenix :(


The next few pics are of the room that Ben and I got to stay in for the night.  This mirror in the bathroom had bluetooth built into it, so you could play music from it!  The room was very modern.




We enjoyed our stay and have decided that is where we will stay each time we go see Sara, besides its only 6 mins. away from where she lives so its perfect!



Sara & Abbey their first apartment!

It was hard saying good-bye on Sunday.  It was Father's day so we all (Scott, Kyle, Karlee, Ben, Sara, Abbey and I) went out for breakfast.  Scott and Kyle headed out from the restaurant when we were done eating.  We said good-bye to Karlee and then Ben, Sara, Abbey and I headed back to their place for a little bit before saying our good-byes.  It was so very hard.  I cried off and on our way home back to Flagstaff.  It was a quite trip home.  We were so overly tired that it added to our emotional state of mind. 

Monday was hard. I wrote about it mostly in my notes in my phone.  I don't really feel like going into detail right now here, since I thought I woke up today able to handle the idea of writing about things lately but really I'm not.  I started this post this morning, and today is Monday June 28th.  I'm back to writing now and its after lunch but I've found as the day has gone by I'm really struggling.  I'm struggling with finding something to do to stay busy, I'm tired and unmotivated to do much of anything.  I did however do a little yoga this morning after my shower and then also have gone on a short walk so far today.

I miss my girls and its hard to find something to do and I'm in the house by myself and its so quite.  I'm working on laundry so thats going.  I've cleaned the kitchen and straighten up after the weekend.  Its not like I have not done anything but I'm just doing them automatically I think.

I haven't heard back from anyone from Friday after having two interviews so that has me bummed out and the fact that I'm still unemployed is a huge factor in how its affecting me and the way I'm thinking and feeling right now along with the changes of my girls living in Phoenix and I'm an empty nester!

It was a good and fun weekend with Karlee and Nat and I'm thankful for that but now its quite around here.  I loved hearing about Karlee's new job and watching talk with excitement.

I just have to find a new norm for me and I'm not sure how to do that.
