Gram & Grampy are always so sad to leave Satchel and wish they could take him with them to the farm. Diron and I mentioned that they could take him back if they really wanted since I didn't have a job yet and could head to TX in a week and a half to get him. Plus, now that we officially owned the house, we would have time to paint the last room and unpack the last little bit that needed to be done (as well as organize a little more)! That's all they needed(: It was mentioned and decided on Monday evening, I packed all of his stuff, and they headed out at 5:30 the next morning!!! The trip (with a 3 year old anyway) took 15 hours from TN back to the farm in north Texas, and he was such the little trooper. Of course, he had Gram and Grampy's full attention!
As soon as they headed out to TX, Diron went to ACE that morning and we picked up paint at Sherwin Williams. We got busy painting the last room that needed it and turned the lime green bedroom into a burnt orange color. It was a tad much so we decided to paint a blue accent wall and the little recessed area. We love how it turned out! I also had grown tired of the office chair rolling across the room and gripping my toes under the cabinet to hang on (bc the room had been an old garage converted to a room so it was slightly slanted for drainage) so we were able to move the office into this spare bedroom. Yeah!
I admit, I cried a little the first couple of days as I was sad that Satchel was not there. It was VERY weird as I had never been without him and for the past two months he had been constantly under my heels and leeched to me following me around the house endlessly (to which I grew weary at times, but used to it nonetheless). I was anxious but I knew he was in good hands and having the time of his life at the farm. So many great memories were being made! It was very strange running tons of errands without strapping him into the carseat or constantly on the go anticipating hunger, potty breaks, or tantrums. We got a ton done in a few days. However, after 5 days I couldn't take it anymore and knew I had to go get him early. Pitiful huh?! I headed out first thing at 5 on Monday morning for my 12-hr drive to Texas solo. I was SOOO happy to see him! He had plenty of things to tell me about pulling the wagon with Gram, playing in the tractors and car with Grampy, and feeding Penny the cow cubes.
Cute!! He looks like he loved it on the farm!
