We had initially planned to leave San Diego February 11th but Stevie had a Valentines performance at school on the 12th and really didn't wanna miss that so we stayed until the 14th.
(also on the 12th we had people come pack up our house. oh.em.gee can you say stressed. I was not a fan of having someone else pack up my things. I like knowing where EVERYTHING is at all times.)
The 13th we just got the rest of our things in order (this was also Stevie's last day of school here.)
Goodbye Navy!!!!!
One last stop at our favorite Starbucks in SD.
Side note: Leaving San Diego was a very bittersweet thing for our family. It had truly grown to be "home" to us. Stevie was very upset about leaving her school, home, and friends. It was an emotional thing for me as well. I didn't wanna leave our house, and all the things San Diego has to offer..... but we felt like this move was the best thing for us.
Okay so the 14th was an absolutely CRAZY day. We flew out of San Diego at 6 am and were supposed to be at our destination by 9 that night. Well after our flight in San Francisco was delayed by a couple hours, we missed our connecting flight in Chicago to Charlotte. ( I think that flight may have been canceled anyways because of all the snow)
I was expecting to fly out Saturday morning but they didn't reschedule us until SUNDAY at 9pm. After multiple lines, phone calls and inner meltdowns we finally just accepted the fact that we were stuck in Chicago until Sunday. And even though we were stuck in a hotel we had a lot of fun just lounging around together as a family.
Goodbye San Diego
The girls last pics in SD.
Walking to the plane and Journi's first time flying. (2/14/2014)
Journi in the San Fran airport. (11 months on this day.)
Stevie's "I'm so mad we are stuck in Chicago" faces
Finally headed home.
We spent the next couple days at my parents house and had a huge family gathering which was a lot of fun.
We headed for the coast the next day in search of a home. After not finding anything and absolutely wanting to give up we found the PERFECT house for us. A HUGE fenced in back yard, a patio, a front porch, a long driveway, a big front yard, 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, in a nice development and less than a mile from the perfect school for Stevie. My heart was so so happy. (and still is.) We can't move in for another week and a half so we are in an extended stay hotel. (if you know me-you know i despise hotels. I'm much too big of a germ freak for all the nastiness that comes with a hotel but we found a really nice one with a kitchen and all-so I'm dealing. haha.
Stevie has started school and absolutely loves it (Thank You Lord!!!!!)
we are absolutely LOVING living here and can't wait to see what all it has to offer for our family.
Sorry for the long stretch between blogs but things have been SO hectic. I will be back with another post soon though :)
