6 months ago, I couldn't wait for summer to get here. I had pictures in my head of me sitting on the back patio, the girls on the swing set and the baby in the stroller. Fast forward 6 months and everything has changed. About the only thing not changing, is the fact that this baby is going to be born Friday whether we are ready or not!
Last Thursday, Troy accepted a job at Maquoketa Valley, in Dehli, Iowa. What does that mean to me and the kids? It means we're moving! There goes my peaceful, quiet, laid back, do whatever we want summer!
Let the house hunting begin. The plan right now is to try to find a place in Dyersville. Troy will have about a 15 minute commute and I will have about a 30 minute commute. I'm not to worried about the time on the road, as I already have about a 20 minute commute anyway. I am on the other hand worried about selling our house, getting the girls settled in a new town and registered for school/daycare, etc....oh, and giving birth to another child in 3 days! Sigh.
So anyway, as you can probably tell, life has been a little twazy here this past week and there is no end in site for it to settle down anytime soon. I know this is the right choice for our family, as we wanted to get the kids into a small town before Lauren got into 3rd or 4th grade. So when this opportunity presented itself, we figured timing shouldn't stop us from doing this for our family. It's going to be crazy for a year or so.....and initially I think the cons are going to out weigh the pros..... but eventually, I know the pros are going to out weigh the cons.
If anyone is interested in helping us move.......just call! I promise we won't turn you down! And I also promise lots of cold beer!
Holy cow! Congrats on the new job, Troy! And good luck to you guys with selling the house and moving with a new baby in tow! I bet you'll love being in Dyersville and being so close to your parents.
ReplyDeleteYikes...you do have your plate full! Can't wait to hear the good news on the arrival of your newest little one. When will you have to be moved? Will Lauren switch schools before the end of the school year? I'm sure David would be available to help you move (I'm not sure I'd be much help with my 3 little helpers with me) Just have Troy give him a holler.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you in these next few days and pray that all goes smoothly.
