Moving Day is Fast Approaching!

This is what our entire house looks like right now. BOXES everywhere. It's a big job to move, that is for sure. We have been so blessed through it all having so many tender mercies from the Lord. As difficult as it may be to leave memories and old friends behind, I know we are doing the right thing.

Let me tell you, there is absolutely nothing funner than boxes...I have FOND memories of rolling down hills in boxes after moving, among many other box filled memories. My children are not letting it pass them by either, they are having a blast.
I know this is a little random, so bare with me. Being an Air force brat I have this mindset that hits right before we move. It's called, "who do I want to be when I move?" mindset. Weird. I know. But because we moved so much as a kid I would always wanted to make sure when I left one place I would do a self evaluation. Now this could be a physical, spiritual, fashion, style, etc evaluation, but I always had one that include some or all of the above. I would leave certain things behind and decide to add certain things to my life. So it's self evaluation time.
So this one is on a physical note. I recently had some highlights done in my hair. Too much upkeep, too same as everyone else (no offense to anyone), and just too blond. Thus going to a new place I wanted to go back to my natural color. It turned out really, really dark (darker than the picture shows)... but hopefully it will fade with time. Audrie's first reaction, "Wow Mom, your hair is black... I LOVE it. Can I have black hair? " Next came Kaylee. "Mom, your hair is black." As she ran her fingers through it, "I don't like it."
So who am I going to be at the new place?
I think it was decided for me:
Goth Girl.
Anyone have any big, clunky, black lace up boots I could borrow? And possibly some fishnet stockings, preferably with holes in them?
