Almost Done

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel finally. Josh will be here Monday night and then we will all head back to North Carolina on Wednesday night. It feels like its been forever since we have been together. I know he came for her birthday but that was such a short time that it almost doesn't count. I do have to admit that this "visit" has gone a lot better than I had imagined. I think I was on the defense when I got here. I was expecting there to be more conflict than there was and I am so thankful that there wasn't. I think after this Laura and I just might come out as friends.

Ben and Danielle left yesterday. It was nice to spend some time with them and get to know them better. Having said that I wasn't to sad to see them go. I know that sounds bad but what I mean is ... it is nice to not have such a house full. However, while they were waiting for their ride to pick them up, Aunt Ruth came. She will be here until Monday morning. Ruth is Laura's aunt so she is Isabelle's Great Great Aunt. We sure have met a lot of family this month. It is nice to finally put a face with a name especially since Ruth and I have been corresponding for awhile. It is also nice for Laura because Ruth is the only family she has left. She is a little weird but she is also 80 something so she is more than entitled.

I am glad to hear that you will be done very quickly and that things did not go so terribly for you. I am glad you had the chance to get to know more family members and all. Don't feel bad about how you said you were not sad to see them go. I totally understand how you feel about it.
So does this mean that you guys got that house you spoke about earlier? I sure do miss you!
