Well, today is Zach’s last day at Edison. It’s kind of a bittersweet day. I’m reminding myself about my favorite quote from President Obama: “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek”. Dan and I are leaving behind our house and so many things are changing in life, but these changes are all for the better. We are all making temporary sacrifices, but it’s all for a better future. I hope Zach knows this too and can adjust well as he starts his new school on Monday.
Last night, I received a very special email from his teacher. She wanted to let me know that she has been ill with the flu and will not be in today, but that she and the class have planned a surprise party for Zach, complete with pizza and ice cream. His classmates have also made him a book that I can’t wait to see. She ended with: “I have enjoyed having your son in our classroom. He will do great at his new school with his upbeat personality and his hard working skills. I am very proud of him. Let me know where you would like me to send his report card to. Good luck to your family and best wishes on the new baby.” I thought that was very sweet of her and I know she’s right. Zach has an extremely outgoing/upbeat personality. We haven’t even moved yet and he’s already met a couple of kids in the new neighborhood. I know that he will transition well, but it’s still hard not to worry.
After work today, we’ll be packing up the rest of our stuff to be ready for the mover’s tomorrow morning. Praying that we can get it all done and that all goes well – and hopefully this rain/snow that’s expected switches directions. Until my next post, I remain pregnant ;-) and counting down the days until “baby” arrives – today is April 1st, so only 16 more days until the due date. Also, as a side note – today is April 1st, which is April Fools’ Day, which is also my Mom’s Birthday, her 50th to be exact, so a very Happy Birthday to her! :-)
