And Off They Go…

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.

Psst... thanks for stopping by! I hope I didn't traumatize you too badly on your first visit. Remember to subscribe to my RSS feed if you want updates from the site!

    I’m glad everything worked out.

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

  3. RW August 21, 2007 7:15 am

    Wow… already snowing by you huh?

  4. avitable August 21, 2007 7:21 am

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

  5. J. August 21, 2007 8:36 am

    Yay! :clap:

    Awww, they are soooo cute!

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

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

    Glad everything turned out good!

  10. NotaGranny August 21, 2007 12:27 pm

    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. RW August 21, 2007 12:30 pm

    Florida?

  12. Miss Britt August 21, 2007 1:10 pm

    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?

  13. DutchBitch August 21, 2007 1:16 pm

    Another hurdle taken…

    And your kids look absolutely adorable!

  14. avitable August 21, 2007 1:16 pm

    Why do you hate Emma?

  15. Brandi August 21, 2007 1:41 pm

    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:

  16. Wicked H August 21, 2007 3:43 pm

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

  17. usedtobeme August 21, 2007 3:52 pm

    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

  18. Miss Britt August 21, 2007 4:19 pm

    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.

  19. avitable August 21, 2007 4:22 pm

    Fuck of what?

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

  20. hellohahanarf August 21, 2007 8:04 pm

    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?

  21. Mr. Fabulous August 21, 2007 9:02 pm

    I never doubted it for a moment.

  22. RW August 21, 2007 9:54 pm

    Wow. What are you doing in Florida??

    :poke:

  23. maman August 21, 2007 10:39 pm

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

  24. Mom August 21, 2007 11:54 pm

    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.
