Trip to NYC

So we are home after 3 full grueling days in the Big Apple. This trip had an entirely different feeling than the previous 2. I suppose it was because we were actually looking at schools and apartments to actually move into. It's different when you visit. It's different when you visit (like we did in January - we knew we were going but didn't know the time line) even if you know you are moving there eventually. When the time finally comes to find the place to move to - and try to find it in just a few short days - it is EXHAUSTING! I didn't get to spend any quiet time alone with the Lord and I'm sure that didn't help. I was drained more and more each day that we were there. So, no update. My Man still doesn't have a job and we still don't have an apartment.

I am going back at the end of the month to scout out apartments without my Man but with George. She's a trip! LOVE HER! She was with us this last trip doing the same scouting as we were. I don't want to leave the girls again but Pete will be home with them for most of that time so I feel a bit better about going. I just really don't like leaving them for more than a day. Ever. This trip to NYC was only my 4th time in K#1 entire life (a whole 8 years) that I left them for more than a day. I know it's good for them and me but it's hard. Pete and I have a pretty good idea of where we feel we need to live, oddly enough, not where we had thought, and we have a pretty good idea of what we are looking for in an apartment. He trust me enough to find it on my own and know that he'll be happy with it. I'll take video and pictures but still he'll be leaving the final decision up to me. And that means praying that I find something that week so we can move 2 days after I return home.

And I thought life couldn't get any crazier!
