One week ago tomorrow, Wes loaded our car with boxes and hit the road. 2200 miles and three days later, he arrived in Los Angeles. He has been there for 3 days now and has already had one interview. He has turned in lots of resumes, and started checking out apartments.
Life here has been much less exciting. Kirk finished up spring break and returned to school today. Last Thursday we went to the Zoo--Atlanta has a very nice zoo. This visit was special because it was the first since we (Atlanta) acquired 2 giant pandas. I had never before seen panda's without the aide of a television. They were not as giant as one would have suspected. They have always seemed much larger on television. Their level of activity was about what we expected. They are more pretty than exciting. We, of course, also saw lions, tigers, elephants, apes, monkeys, birds, etc. I took a lot of video to send to Wes. Most of it was just silliness. I participated in an African dance and made, I suspect, quite a fool of myself, though that was not recorded for posterity.
It is our plan not to move out to live with daddy until at least the end of the school year. It is important to me, that Kirk 1) finish out the school year 2) finish out his gifted program testing. I'm just afraid that if we tried to move any earlier that Kirk would miss out on finishing out some of the great programs J.W. Arnold has to offer him. I want school to be important him, because it is to me. Kirk is aware of our plan and today in the car on the way to pick up Stephanie from school he told me in an angry voice "Lots of kids in my class have left and they are not coming back and it's not the end of the school year!" I'm afraid that he's going to be angry at me about being away from his daddy. I'm afraid he'll be angry at the school, other students, and his teachers about being away from his daddy. I'm also afraid he'll be angry at his daddy. I guess this is all normal, but I just can't handle this right now. I'm so stressed. This long distance relationship thing we keep doing is something that I don't think I'll ever get used to.
Keep us in our prayers. We are all going through a tough time, but with the Lord's help I know we can make it through.
Thank you,
Jenna
