Our nearly month long journey to Asheville is coming to an end. Weeks with family and cousins from Philly to Duck to Winston Salem the kids and I have made it. Our things arrive tomorrow and hoping our sense of belonging and comfort arrive shortly after.

She’s basically my sister. - Nola upon seeing this photo

This first photo is a photo of my child who sleeps. My other young child (see slide 2) is currently in that dreadful phase where if he naps he takes forever to fall asleep, but if you don’t let him nap you can’t drive anywhere or he will fall asleep in the car and just be extra miserable. And see the onset of this right when I have 5 weeks straight of solo parenting is really just cruel. Pure evil. The end.

When you plan on moving today, but that ain’t happening, you go mini golfing to avoid life.

This kind of broke my heart this morning. I had packed up her dress up clothes and most of this area. But Nola hung this here at some point after her recital. And the little lonely costume hanging there just made me sad for her, for all my kids. In her mind that was where this goes. It belongs. But in the box it goes waiting for a new wall, new place. Moving, while exciting, is also scary. And while we are hopeful, we are also so uncertain. I have made big moves before from NYC to Nashville and from Philly to the Adirondacks. But never with “big kids”. Kids with real friends and real fears. I know we will be okay, they will be okay, but I also know I have to put my big girl pants on and be ready to parent some huge emotions over the coming weeks/months and gear up for a roller coaster of insanity whether I am ready or not. #boonesonthemove

Another dance recital in the books for these two. I am not sure we will ever find a place as wonderful as @thedancesanctuary. The way this dance studio brings our community together and the way they love on our children is a beautiful site to see and something I will forever be grateful we got to experience.

We always knew it would happen, just never knew when or where and really what it would feel like. And while we know now when and where, we still aren’t sure what it actually feels like. Because it’s so many things with no time (right now) to acknowledge or process. In two weeks, the Boones will be on the move to Asheville, NC. Dominqiue is the new head coach at Warren Wilson College and we are the new crew in western North Carolina. And right now I will choose to focus on boxes and medical records because thinking about leaving players and friends and the little parts of this place we love so dearly are too much to handle in such a short time. #boonesonthemove #themountainsarecalling #justadifferentset

How Navi feels about the bike not going as fast as she is wants, is how I feel about tomorrow being Monday! #navigirl #boonesonwheels
