V Im glad to hear you and girls are all nicely settled into the new place! What a relief you must feel to have that behind you now! Now its ONWARD AND UPWARD!! (my personal motto I developed when my life crumbled a few years ago!) Im sorry to hear about Tessa also. If you want to talk anytime I can relate to you a bit. I lost my pup in the middle of my breakup from my ex-fiance of 10 years... it was the last 'blow' my heart could take at the time. Anyways, its amazing how things manage to somehow come together and work out in ways that different but mostly better than we originally pictured or imagined!
((HUGS)) you are one strong, brave, indepedant woman!!!
