Goodbye Daddy

Well those who read the previous post, I guess I should have waited one more day to blog. Monday after we found out we were staying in Cedar we started getting ready to stay. We moved Avonlea's crib into Addies room, we planned to go camping the next night. Life was good because we knew where we were going to be. Well the next day, Ammon left the cell phone home and the lady from Creighton admissions called and said there was a 50/50 chance that someone was dropping out (on the 2nd day of Welcome Week), and they wanted to know if Ammon still wanted the seat. WHAT??? Holy cow!
I tried calling Ammon at work but he had left 10 minutes earlier and I HAD THE CELL PHONE. I thought he would be getting home right away but he decided to stop at the store and shop for our camping trip we were going on that night. It took him another 40 minutes to get home. Meanwhile, I'm trying not to hyperventilate and such. Ironically, we had bought a GPS unit the week before because it was on a major sale and it happened to come in that day. Ammon FINALLY got home and told me the GPS had come. I told him maybe he could use it to drive to Nebraska that night. I wish I had a camera to take a picture of his face at that moment. I told him the story and he called admissions back and found out he was IN! We both were pretty much in shock! The next hour or so, we packed like crazy-in between tears, and got him ready to drive out there that night. Talk about tough on the emotions. It was such a roller-coaster of emotions that I almost start crying just thinking about it. Ammon had to say goodbye and move to a totally unfamiliar area without us and I have to deal with packing and moving without Ammon.

Saying goodbye was pretty hard! I had a headache the rest of the night from crying. Ammon had a headache because our muffler is so loud and he had to listen to it for the next 18 hours....poor guy.

So what now? Who knows. I am packing up the house and sending a moving truck out to him this Wed/Thurs and then I will clean and I'm not sure when we will be heading out. My sister Valerie is due to have her baby on the 8th of September. I really want to see the baby before next Summer so I want to stay but Ammons White Coat ceremony is on the 10th and I really want to be there for that.
AHHHH!!!
Little baby in Valerie's belly, could you come a little early for my sake? I'm sure your mommy won't mind.
Ammon had training last Thursday and Friday and started school today. He has had to do in a few days what everyone else had the whole summer to do. For example, he had to do a background check and list all of his addresses for the last 20 years. That is just one example. He is pretty lonely and I'm pretty lonely with out him. Ammons mom has Addie and Kimball so I can pack. My family is so spread out and I just want to be back together as a family. I'm going to miss Cedar so much. There are so many friends here and being able to go home to my parents in 20 min is something that has been so wonderful. To me, Parowan is heaven on earth. This morning I was sitting on my front porch (because there is no where to sit in my disaster of a house) and I got really teary thinking about how much I'm going to miss my beautiful mountains. Then I had to just stop thinking about it because if I think about any of this stuff too much, I cry and if I cry I get a headache, and if I get a headache, I can't pack and I NEED TO PACK!
Speaking of other needs, I need to sleep. It has been a long day and it will be another long day tomorrow. Goodnight
