July 7, 2013 - Last week in North Olmsted

The street in the spring, with sidewalks and crabapple trees!

I get to spend this week soaking in all of the conveniences of living in a town one last time.  Today I took a run with my son in the jogging stroller before church and then a long walk with the dogs later.  I will probably miss having sidewalks.  I also hung out on my porch and watched the neighbors work in their yards, streamed netflix and the most recent episode of Dexter, and got some of my stuff sorted for the movers.  I also headed to church for what will likely be the last service that we attend there.
I was really feeling at home at that church and building relationships with the people there, so there was sadness in my worship this morning.  Those people have seen my son nearly every week for the first year of his life (3 months inside me, 9 months out).  I'm not certain where we will attend once we are actually settled in our forever home in Putnam County, but for right now we will likely attend the local church where my husband's family mostly attends.
My husband packed up all the stuff that the moving company wouldn't take and headed back to Indiana for work this morning.  The priority was moving the ammo and guns... he barely squeezed in a bed to sleep on for the night.  He did manage to get to the rental house in time to put up a totally gawdy shower curtain with pigs and cows on it. That will not be lasting much longer than the few days I am gone.
I broke up the boredom that can come from being alone with an infant and talked on the phone with my cousin today.  Not having grandma to go shoot the breeze with every morning got to her this weekend.  I imagine this will be a tough week for her and my mom and aunt.  She wondered where she would go in the morning to chat with someone, and I should have invited her to come over to my house, but I didn't think that fast.
While I am anxious to get over to Putnam County with my husband, this week I am going to focus back on my work so that the conference duties I have next week are attended to.  The only thing I am helping Clay with is tying up all the loose ends here in Ohio and finding out which internet provider serves the rental we are going to live in in Indiana.  Oh Internet... how I have taken you for granted!
