Empty

With all of the runs to DI and selling things on Craigslist, our house is beginning to look a bit empty. It makes me sad to think of all of the changes that are coming. Our family has gone through so much here in Las Vegas. I have had 3 miscarriages. I had Alex and Benson. I have had a full time job. Chris' job has gone through many phases in itself. We lived through 115 degree summers! We have cried a lot, and laughed even more. I know life keeps marching on, but sometimes I wish it would slow down just a little bit.

Susanna said today that she thinks it would be better if all of our friends could live in Grand Junction, she doesn't want to leave them here. I agree. I am tired thinking about everything, because I am so worn out already and I have so much left to do. Of course, I am the type that has to have everything packed perfectly and cleaned to the "T" before I can pack it- so essentially I do it to myself. I am sure that stressing about a place to live, and whether we are going to have enough money to do all that we need to do isn't exactly giving me energy either. I am also refinishing some furniture, just for "fun". So between that and trying to keep up with my school classes and some work Chris has for me on the computer, and the kids and house in general, I feel like I am swimming upstream and falling back a little more every minute.

It will be wonderful when it is all over! I have a feeling this next month is going to be filled with many more ups and downs...isn't moving one of the top 10 most stressful things? If not, it should be.

You can do it Cousin!! When things get overwhelming for me...I think of how I pushed four HUGE kids out of my body (different years of course!), but anything has to be easier than labor:) Then, when my list is way too long, I cross off unimportant items. Blogging helps me too-♥

Good Luck! Ya i always hate moving to and all that comes along with it but one good thing is you always end up getting rid of alot of things you don't really need to keep!
I hope everything works out in Grand Junction i'm sure it will be all worth it once you get settled in:)

Wow good luck. I am so sorry to have you move. It was nice to know you were so close. Even if I didn't get to come and visit you very often at all.
