Winds of Change

Welp.  It's that time.  Time to open our wings and fly away.  Like an Eagle.  A bald one.  An eagle that is ready to live on its own again because its been living with its parents for a year and 9 months and needs its own space again.

We are so excited. And we are moving in 4 days.  Well, 3 technically.  Um, THREE DAYS.  I haven't packed a dang box.  As if we aren't busy enough--let's pack up all our stuff.  Good thing we don't HAVE to be out on Saturday.  I think our current Landlords are pretty flexible.  Things happened very fast and they just came together.  We are really happy about where we'll be and it's still close to our jobs and family.  We're still looking for a dresser and/or bedside table so if you know of anything--let us know!

It's funny because we've been explaining what's going on to Cole and he totally gets it.  He came home from school and found an empty box and just started randomly throwing stuff in like clothes, books and toys.  When I asked him what he was doing, he said "just packin' up my stuff".  He's concerned about how we're going to get his bed to his new bedroom and keeps calling our new place his "little house".  Thankfully, it's not so little.  It's a bigger place than we've ever had to ourselves.  He just doesn't remember that.

We're positive that Grandma and Papa Miller won't miss us...but Cole will most definitely be missed.  Probably not the tantrums, but when he is a sweetie, he can melt their hearts. We'll miss the HDTV the size of Texas, the massive, beautiful kitchen with granite countertops, watching LOST with my parents and stressing out about what is going on, watching my Grandpa Egan make the EXACT same meal EVERY single day, the beautiful neighborhood, the ward and mostly, our friends (including playgroup ladies and their cute kids).

This has been a great place for us to live.  It seems like Heavenly Father always knows just what we need (obviously).  Every place we have lived has been exactly what we've needed at that time.  I hope this trend continues because moving makes me a bit nervous.  Not so much before we had Cole, but now my biggest concern is how Cole will adjust and if he'll make friends and how he'll get along with his new primary buddies.  Just the typical mom stresses.  We've been so blessed here. I have had THE BEST visiting teachers in the world.  Heavenly Father has blessed me with hilarious/awesome/kind/loving women to visit me.  I'm almost nervous that I've been spoiled because I'm about to be put in a really tough position.  You'll know about it if I do...

That is so exciting!! I wish I had some good news about some of the items you need but I don't. Good luck in the search and if you ever slow down maybe we can get together more often.
