Today. Today I no longer own my beautiful home. It is no longer mine. Papers have been signed. It has a new owner.
I have a new home to purchase tomorrow.
A new, fabulous home. 800 miles away.
Today, an unexpected wave of emotion hit. One I wasn't quite expecting.
One of love, one of fear, one of courage, one of gratitude.
SO many of you have reached out.
I am grateful.
I feel so much love from all of you.
Really I am humbled.
We have four farewell parties scheduled, it is so close now.
I have been weepy all morning with so much racing through my mind: moving, saying goodbye, our new adventure, the kids hearts, life.
Ry and I have literally been non stop for weeks now.
Lists a mile long, so much to do and decide.
Stress. Yes. lots of it!
The good news: his company does the work and picks up the tab. I don't have to pack a box. It is all taken care of. That is a relief.
But when the dust settles and it is quiet,
my thoughts turn to all of you.
Thank you.
Thank you for all of your love
and support.
It means the world.
With so much to do, blogging will slow down for a few weeks. (I will have no computer!)
I have a few more posts to do before I go, but will resume fully on the other side. In Colorado.
I have the twins big birthday bash this weekend, sister trip to St. George (the day we move out!), a household to move.
This is not a final farewell yet. No.
I will say goodbye a little bit later.
Now here I go, send me courage to keep on going. The Stott's can do this. We chose this adventure, we are ready....
Today, off to plan the twins big bday bash, pick out carpet for the new house, and a farewell lunch with some of my favorite girls.
love you all!
xo!

Why do all of your blogs make me cry? I hate this! It completely sucks that this is happenning, but if any of the sisters can do it, it is YOU! YOU are the positive thinker, the one who thrives in the face of adversity. YOU are the one who makes friends the best and has made it through really tough times before. My only request is that you don't forget US. We, your sisters, will always be here, waiting for you and your beautiful family to return, because in the end, this is where you belong.
PS this is Misty
Wow. I'm crying this time for sure. With the music in the background, it made it worse. Good luck Today. I don't want to think past that. It's making me too sad. You will be awesome and you will be such an asset to your new home, ward, school and area. I can't believe this is becoming so REAL.
Another amazing post! I have been thinking about you all day today and my heart is so sad for me, but excited for you. You are amazing -the journey you are on has been long and hard, but it will be so rewarding. And not to sound cliche', but I am inspired by you trying to focus on the "Joy in YOUR Journey" and putting your family first. Colorado is lucky to have you.....xoxo
That was the sweetest Mist, Nat and Kristin! YOU are all SO kind...thank you.
and to all my girls...love you. It is coming so close. thanks for all your support. I am lucky.
Tawny,
WOW. Thanks for always being sunshine no matter what is happening in your life. What beautiful words you write and it's only fitting to have such beautiful comments about you. They are all true, you are going to bless the lives of those Denver Bronco fans.:) And ours still.
Love you.
