What a Week!

This has been one of those weeks! You know, one of those when you think what else could happen, and then you see what can!

Last weekend my stepson graduated high school. Let me just say there was a lot of accompanying drama. We dealt with that the first part of the week.

Yesterday Dane and I left home to go to the grocery store. My husband called while we were out, frantically asking where we were. I told him and he said, "The house has been broken into." Geez!! You're kidding right??? I wish!! Keep in mind he came home less than 1 hour after we had left.

Yesterday as WRPD were here and we were attempting to assess the damage, Shannon said "What else can happen?" I quickly told him not to ask, or we might would see. We are thankful we were not home when the incident occured and that no one was injured.

After filing the police report, cleaning up, and filing a claim with insurance I made a call to our realtor. In light of this past week's events, we have decided it is time to move out of this county. We have some work ahead to get our house market ready. I made a "To Do" list last night and have already begun to tackle it this morning.

Where are we going? We aren't sure, but know without a doubt it won't be Macon!

We are hoping and praying our house will sell quickly and we will find our next home without incident.

The past couple of weeks or so have been better for me emotionally. And that may be due to lack of actual time to think about what has happened. I was also able to get a couple of projects completed that I have been wanting to in honor of my mom and the memories/legacy she left me with. I wouldn't think completing those tasks would be that significant, but maybe that's just what I needed.

I still have little belief in the system. It is so hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that my mom's murderer is free on the streets of Macon and nobody really seems to have a problem with that!

I get the same story from the detective every month, so no surprises there. A couple of months ago he gave me a hint of good news, but nothing since.
