ready or not, here we go!

I am totally feeling unprepared!  I've never been away from home for 2 months.  In college, even though I lived at the dorms, I was only a short drive away from home.  I don't know what to bring, what we will need.  At least the boys will be at home here and they can send things if we need them.  
We are still trying to finalize a place to live.  I'm hoping it will all come together today!  I'm surprised realtors weren't working on the weekend.  We've been anxiously awaiting calls that never came.  We left several messages with no response.  Very surprising!  It sounds like it is a hot market down in Jacksonville.  We will be lucky to find a nice place under $2000/month with the short notice we received.  Yeah, I know.  This is not for a house by any means!  It is a small apartment condo.  It is however, fully furnished down to the eating utensils and linens for the beds, so we will not have worry about that.  I'm not sure how they expect such a quick turn around!
Today involves last minute details, finish packing, loading the car, etc.  I also need to meet with Aly's principal to firm up some plans regarding school.  We are expecting to be down there until the last week in October!  I need to try to squeeze in a last minute meeting with Tom's counselor as well.  Too much to do!
We wanted to stay long enough for Aly to attend the middle school open house and get her picture taken so she'll be in the yearbook this year.  We will head out bright and early Tuesday morning.  We are planning to make it to Indianapolis Tuesday night, Asheville, North Carolina on Wednesday night and we need to be to Jacksonville by 2pm on Thursday.  Fun, fun!
Aly looked so cute for the big orientation day this morning!  We were greeted at the door by one of the social work staff members.  She was very kind and said she'd make sure Aly was in good hands.
