What do you do when you hear that some of your bestest friends on EARTH are moving across the country just to be closer to you? You freak out and have a party right? Well, this happened last week you guys! My parents officially moved from Dallas, Texas to the Carolinas! Permanently! Full time! AH!
Some of you might remember when they lived up here part time when Káel was born. But, they ended up moving back to our native state of Texas after a few months. When they got the news of boho baby #2...it was over. Less than a week later my mom calls me and asks me if we'd be ok with them moving here. (ARE YOU KIDDING!?) She went on about not wanting to butt to much into my life etc....PLEASE!? My folks are some of my favorite people on this planet and they are truly some of my closest, most bestest friends. I simply couldn't believe it or be more excited at the thought of them moving here for good. When I assured her that it would be the biggest treat ever, she forwarded me several houses she had lined up for me to look at! Haha! My favorite surprise!!!! A few weeks later they decided on a house they loved, packed up their stuff and started the road trip from Dallas to Charlotte!
We met them at their new house as they pulled into town Friday night. Saturday, several of our closest friends, along with Sam and myself helped unload their moving pods and had a fabulous time laughing and welcoming my folks to town. It was so wonderful. I've been over there over the last couple days helping my mom unpack her kitchen etc...it's like a dream. Unpacking plans are on hold now, both my poor folks have had a hard knock of a Charlotte initiation with the nasty stomach bug that has been plaguing the Queen City. Bleh. At least we're close so we can help out a little. :( Soon, everyone will be healthy, and settled and more adventures will unfold!

Oh my goodness...you must be over the moon!! How wonderful to have parents, children and grandchildren so close to each other! My parents are only 1 1/2 hours away, but I would still FLIP out if we could be even closer to them. It drives them crazy to not see their grandbaby everyday. Enjoy this time, girl! <3
ReplyDeleteThat is great that your parents can be there with you!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that my parents will always live near me!!
This is the sweetest, most special thing ever!! No greater gift than family!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a area come true: congratulations! As my husband and I get ready for babe #1 I secretly wish one or both pairs of parents would somehow be just down the street ;) xoxox
ReplyDeleteThis is the greatest gift of all! You are so lucky to have all of your dearest loved ones close by!
ReplyDeleteLol! We lived close to my parents for 4 years then they moved away and I was over the moon! Haha! My mom is always in my business and won't leave us alone. It's been nice actually having our lives back to ourselves. We recently planned to move to AL where they live but after really thinking it over we've decided staying in the Carolina's is where we need to be so we'll be moving in the summer but not to Bama! So happy that you are happy that your parents are closer, it will be so nice to have their help with another kiddo on the way!
ReplyDeleteYou have some seriously good looking parents! Congrats on having the family closer.
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome! I love when my parents come from Puerto Rico to say for a few months! I hate when they leave! It's so great they are there to stay!
ReplyDeleteI live close to my parents so I totally take it for granted that they are always a phone call away. I'm so excited for you to have your besties/parents near by!
ReplyDeletelucky you! wish my parents would move across the country and take up residence near us :) I gotta know, where oh where did you get that amazing jacket you are wearing in your last pic? Its adorable!
ReplyDeleteMy mom parked her fifth wheel (which she lives in) right outside my door in July, just for a few weeks. Well, she is still here, and we've enjoyed it so much that we decided to let her build her dream tiny cabin in our backyard, complete with bathroom and outdoor shower so she can stay forever. Can't imagine NOT having her here, especially when we add a baby #2 or #3!
ReplyDeleteAmazing news! I take for granted how close together everyone is in ENgland- my parents have always been so close!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely that your friends even helped moving!
That is so cool that they would do that for you guys! Hope they feel better soon and you all can get back to adventuring posthaste. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting! I wish my best friend would move closer!!
