Finally some good news! My dear, sweet husband has joined me in Fairmont. He took a job at the Fairmont paper. Tonight is his first night. Yes, it is a night job, but I don't care. He's here, that's all that matters. He's so relieved, it is oozing from his pores! LOL I haven't seen him smile this much in, I don't know how long. The cats are just as happy to see him, as he was to see them. Truth be told, I think he missed them a tad more than he missed me. 
We still have quite a bit of things to be moved. We'll be going to Romney next weekend to try to get most of it. I can haul an amazing amount in my station wagon and we'll use his mom's truck for the big things. Hopefully we can make it in just one trip. Then he'll just need to go swap vehicles.
The only sad thing is that there is no Book N Bean anymore. We are still devastated over the loss of our beloved Bean. He made a wonderful post on his facebook page about it. I'm going to copy it here, to share with you all.
I wanted to share what I drew in the book for Mike and Lorie, but thought maybe words this time. Cross-posting for saturation.
I cried today for, I think, the first time since my father died.
Some of you know why, this is for you. In honor of one of the most important and loved of all my favorite places:

Top 5 things that meant the most to me about the bean:

2. Thursday Night Open Mic - the best ever.
1. Tiffi and I met there.
I will take it with me where ever I go, that sense of peace, of belonging. I feel a montage coming on, gotta go. |
