7 days and counting

Wow, 7 days and we are off on the mad adventure. I think this last week will be a bit emotional, but I will keep it together because I don't think of it as goodbye, but more of "See you soon"!
We found a place in Eagle River, AK. It is 15 miles east of Anchorage and seems like a nice area. A sweet $1325.00 a month for a 3 bedroom 1 bath joint. Nothing like giving a stranger $1325.00 at a Wells Fargo. I am just very very pleased to have found a place. It snows in Anchorage a little this time of year. All of our personal goods are in Anchorage already. Less then two weeks. Huge shock here! It is scheduled to be delivered to the new house on the 7th. It's amazing the thought of having my stuff ready for me. A bit different from last time when we waited for 3 weeks. Ahh, and my harley is safe in his crate for all of you that were worried. Whoosh!
We had Karter's football banquet tonight and I did shed a few tears. We have meet so many wonderful people and families that it is had to leave them. I find it odd in life how God brings people into your life and then out. I try to take something from all the people I love and hope that it will make me a stronger and better person. I feel I have gained so much from all of the families on Karters team. Know you will be missed and I hope we all still keep in touch. Again, we have an extra room and it can be used!
Things are good here at the house, cramped, but we all are getting along. I am sure although that the parents will be happy to have thier life back. We just had my mom's "59th" birthday and enjoyed cheescake from the cheescake factory (Dr. Peterson's favorite resturant). A small buzz had by all from the sugar.
We had a great time Saturday with my office family. Good food and lots of laughter. I truely love them each for their gifts and the support they have given me. I know it will be hard to leave them for awhile as I settle into the new life, but they will always have a special place in my heart. Know that I love each of you and take care of my "Boy wonder" he has been very good to me and I cherish the time we have had together.But also know, behind every super hero is his wife! Sara, I love you and will miss our dailey chats.
So you are now up to date on the Davis home front. Tomorrow is another day and you never know what adventure, ok trouble I can get into!
Love to you all!
Shannon
