And Off They Go

Everything was fine.  Just fine.  In fact, “I knew all along it would be perfect, mom“.

We survived.  Tired, exhausted even, but in one piece.

  1. YAAAY!!! :clap: I am so glad it all went so well!

  2. Peggy says:

    I'm glad everything worked out.

    We survived our 1st day too yesterday. It wasn't easy!

  3. RW says:

    Wow… already snowing by you huh?

  4. avitable says:

    Hmm – what's missing in that picture? Could it be a bunny, dragged along by Emma?

  5. J. says:

    Yay! :clap:

  6. :thumbsup: Glad to hear it!!!!

  7. Kellie says:

    :clap: :thumbsup:

  8. AmyD says:

    :heartbeat:

    Awww, they are soooo cute!

    Sorry, that's all I've got today. :dazed:

  9. Fogspinner says:

    I almost said, wow it's snowing already? Then realized, Duh! Florida! That's sand.

    Glad everything turned out good!

  10. NotaGranny says:

    Hmmm, just wait before you know it that sand across the street will be someone's front yard.

    Glad the first days went well!! :thumbsup: :clap:

  11. Miss Britt says:

    Kristin: yeah, relatively so – despite forgetting Emma's bunny.

    Peggy: well congrats to you too then!!

    RW: yeah, you know it gets cold down here.

    avitable: why do you hate me?

    J.: :D

    themuttprincess: shankya!

    Kellie: :D

    AmyD: and yet you're going to call ME out for being a slacker? Pfft

    Fogspinner: yep, our own personal private beach. Kinda.

    NotaGranny: maybe THOSE people will actually come talk to us!

    RW: yes, you know, the place where you and Mrs. RW are planning a vacation soon now that you don't come here for work?

  12. DutchBitch says:

    Another hurdle taken…

    And your kids look absolutely adorable!

  13. avitable says:

    Why do you hate Emma?

  14. Brandi says:

    AWW you can french braid?! Can you be my mommy?! Or at least my bff so we can have sleepovers and you can do my hair…like all the time. :angel:

  15. Wicked H says:

    So glad it all went well. Bring on the next obstacle? Na, just relax and enjoy life now….

  16. usedtobeme says:

    See. I told you so. HA! You're like, the only person in america that I can say that to right now. I feel so validated!

    Seriously though, each day gets a little easier. At first, like, I would venture to say the first month or two, I had a surreal feeling about me, my surroundings, etc. Now, approaching three years, this is home and I cannot imagine us anywhere else. Big hug. Me

  17. Miss Britt says:

    DutchBitch: yeah, they look like their daddy ;-)

    avitable: fuck of

    Brandi: lol, I can't believe how many people are impressed by the french braiding. Seriously – my mom did it to me and I learned how to do it to myself first (which is MUCH easier, by the way).

    Wicked H: but, but, I still need an entertainment center! lol

    usedtobeme: you have no idea how wonderful it is to hear that.

    Everyone keeps telling me "you'll be fine" – and I'm like, I'm FINE… but I'm not HOME. I still feel like I'm living in a hotel… surreal, like you said.

    It's nice to hear that it's NORMAL for it to take a while.

  18. avitable says:

    Fuck of what?

    Is that like Eye of Newt? Are you casting a spell on me?

  19. hellohahanarf says:

    so can you tell us how your days at work are treating you or will the big bad bossman read how you really feel and lay the smack down?

  20. Mr. Fabulous says:

    I never doubted it for a moment.

  21. Mom says:

    Oh oh oh I have to tell you guys this. When I first saw that picture of Emma it looked JUST like Little Miss Britt with HER hair all braided up and cute, even with the cutie shoes.

    They are so wonderful and you are such a wonderful mommy babe.

  22. RW says:

    Wow. What are you doing in Florida??

    :poke:

  23. maman says:

    They look adorable… mine start tomorrow. Assuming that I don’t kill them sometime tonight. Which is entirely possible.
