I hinted last Friday at some exciting news coming up, and I'm not going to leave you hanging any longer. Although, maybe I will, because this is really just round one of what I like to call, "How Much Crap Can We Cram Into One Teeny Space of Time." And the answer to that question is apparently, "A whole, whole lot!"
Biggish change #1: Princess has graduated to a toddler bed. This has actually been very needed for a long time, that girl is way too big for her britches and has wanted a big girl bed forever, so when I found a cute used one online for $10, I snatched it up.
So far she has been doing great, and other than a little midnight wandering ("Mommy, you a-seep?") she has stayed in her bed pretty well.
How did my teeny baby get so big?
Big change #2: Our gypsy spirits have spoken again, and we are moving. Again. This makes 10 times in the 13 years that we have been married. Yikes, that's a lot! This time is a little different, my brother and his wife are being very nice to us and allowing us to move in with them so we can save some money while we are looking for a house of our own to buy. Our house-buying budget is this big ---> <--- so we are looking at short sales, bankruptcies, etc., which means the process takes FOR-EV-ER. We have several bids in and are still looking at other houses, so we will see what happens! And then hopefully we will never, ever, ever move ever again!
It's been so hard this time as I've started the packing/sorting/purging process. We've lived so many places and some have felt more like home than others, but this place has really, really felt like home. This was absolutely the perfect place for us, and we have made so many good memories! So if anyone is looking for an awesome place to rent with the best landlords ever, shoot me an email and I'll get you the info. You'll probably get to hear me crying on here a little bit more as the month goes on and I get more sentimental.
Big change #3: Have you noticed that the direction of this blog has been changing for awhile? Is this a family blog? A lifestyle blog? A Mormon mommy blog? Or is this a health and fitness blog? The real answer is that this is a schizophrenic blog, and I'm really not sure at any moment what personality will show up and do a blog post. One thing I am sure about, though, is that the health and fitness personality is really getting aggressive and wants to take over entirely. I don't want it to crowd out everything else, but I really have so much more to say about that, and so I have given that personality it's very own place to live, right here: www.thatswhatieat.com.
Hooray!! Cartwheels and jumping jacks and fireworks, are you excited? Because I'm super excited. I've already moved a bunch of my old posts over there and will be throwing something new up there today and I hope you will join me. It's still under construction so don't mind the empty, echoey feeling over there, I'll flesh it out soon, I promise. Feel free to follow either this blog or that blog, or both! I also have set up a new Facebook page to go along with that blog so that those who are my friends on Facebook don't have to see updates about two blogs from me. Unless you want to subscribe to my new page, that is, and of course you do! It's super exciting, remember? And I have so many fun plans for that blog, I can't wait to dig in and inundate you with crazy huge amounts of information.
That's all the big, exciting announcements for today, but we have been busy with lots and lots and lots of stuff and it's not slowing down at all, so I'm leaving you with another cliffhanger. What else is there? You'll have to wait and see!
