Wow, so much change happened all at once. Here's life in a nut shell--went to North Carolina with girlfriends and loved it. Came home on a Sunday, listed my home on a Monday, went to Arizona for Mike's work the following Sunday, home went under contract the following Friday, came home that Saturday, packed up the following Monday-Friday and we have moved. It happened so fast and we didn't expect it so now we are living at my parents house until we figure out what next. Seriously, what next? Any suggestions? Big offers? Great deals? We're open. If there is a GREAT paying job, we're open to any where, any time. I said I wanted change so I got a lot of it at once. Be careful what you ask for.
There are lots of pros and cons to our situation. Let's talk about the pros of living with parents--fabulous. Seriously, I'm loving it too much. Independence is completely overrated. I have the same square footage I had at my house only my payment is much less, responsibility is less and I have a garage spot. We only had a car port at our last house. I only have to cook meals 2-3 times a week because I have my parents sharing the week with me. The kids have their own bedrooms and are loving having so many people to play with them. I can take showers and go to the bathroom all by myself because someone is here to watch them so they don't need to follow me around. We are turning 30 years old and really living the life. Wow, 30. No thanks!
On the con side, I REALLY miss Monarch way and my dear neighbors Abby, Trish and all the other great ward members. Holladay is such a great area and our ward was fantastic. It won't be able to be replaced so hopefully we can find something as good. This move has been so hard on Will. I thought I was going to kill him for about a week because he was out of control until he had a complete breakdown. He told me he wanted Parker, Amber, Carden and Max. I feel so bad taking him away from his little buddies and it has been much harder on him than I thought it would be. He is starting to adjust but he needs those boys and lots of play groups. It's lonely being here with just me. Sad.
Macy is close to crawling. She turned 6 months a couple of days ago and I love her. I could squish her face everyday because she is so awesome. She is the happiest little bug in the world. She smiles all day and all night--unless she's hungry. She even slept through the night for the past 3 nights in a row. I feel like an entirely new woman. That haze is starting to fade and I'm loving it. She is my sweet little cuddler. Will is not. I love him dearly too and he has his cuddle moments but he is too busy to be sweet. His life is about Thomas the train and Polar Express. That's all that matters to him and he'll tell you about it all day, every day. All night too if you let him. We have it on video and I'll have to upload it because it's hilarious to hear him talk. Thomas is a very serious issue.
Other than that, things are great. We are great. Life is good. Can't believe we are homeless this quick but we are and I know it's for a reason. Not sure what the reason is but it's for a reason. Things fell into place too quickly, too easily. It all went so smooth so I know there is a reason for it. I'll keep you posted on what it is when I figure it out myself.
Hello, forgot to share the biggest news ever. Mikey had a BEAUTIFUL baby girl last Thursday. Her name is Liliana Christine Holtby. She has tons of jet black hair and is darling. I haven't even been able to meet her yet because they live in Oregon but I am going up there soon to meet her. She is gorgeous and I will post pics once I have some. I love her already.
