Thanx everyone! I am sooo excited! I've got some packing to do today....stuff to put in the car to get us by till we can come back and get the rest. I tell ya, makes me glad I canned all that stuff....I'll be taking 30 days worth of food! woo! I can live without TV for a month, and with a Rent-A-Center around, I can get by. And yes, plenty of time before winter! I'll be taking the washboard, as the house doesn't have a washer/dryer. I can wash in the bathtub with no worries.

Tomorrow the animals will be picked up by their new owner, and maybe by the afternoon we can hit the road. If not it will be Sunday when we pull out. I sat last night making a list of what to take....funny how weird it looks....towels, TP, dishes, etc.

How did we find a job like that? DH was sitting in a truck stop waiting for his turn to pick up a load of hogs. While waiting he was looking through the AgriNews website and happened upon this Help Wanted ad. Oddly enough, the man posted it yesterday at noon, and at 1230 DH was calling him. By yesterday evening we had the job. We'd been talking about leaving this farm, needing to get to a place that made us both mentally and emotionally happier. Don't get us wrong, this place is great, but for the direction we want to go in our lives it wasn't big enough. The house is too big and the land too small. And the emotional toll it was taking on us being around his family was driving us in the ground. I had told him this morning...I put in 10 years of pretending things were ok when we were around them. I'm tired. The fakeness, backstabbing, lieing and deceit has worn me down to a nub. It has done the same to him, he admitted. He finally broke down and said he was tired of trying to make them happy, that it was time for US to be happy.

So, there's the story! lol I can't wait!!!
