So sorry all you non Illinois people....
I have been so busy! And my camera is still broken (but being fixed) so I havent had any pics to post. That's what usually keeps me posting.
The trip across country was fine. Leaving the house was not. We both freaked out when we left. We were exhausted, hungry and over emotional. Was not pretty. We drove 3 days, had some nice kid free quiet time.... : )
We stayed with my parents for a week until the house closed. Jeff traveled for work a bit to lessen the family overload. I shopped that week. I bought a TV, a fridge, a car, a bedroom set for Katie.....the list goes on and on. My credit cards are not happy now....
The house closed and the pods showed up, late of course, but they showed. It was so nice having family to move us in. Jeff and I did the whole thing ourselves on the move out, and it was very exhausting.
It has taken a week, but the kids are adjusting well. Katie is sooo excited she gets to see her cousins at daycare. I got to go to an extended family bar crawl....it may sound silly but I was so happy I wanted to cry. I finally get to attend the family events that I used to hear about on the phone. For thoes of you who don't know, I have a HUGE and very fun extended family.
Jeff's birthday was sunday and I had my family over to celebrate. Very low key....was nice to have family around.
I met the OT/PT gals I am going to work with on monay and I officially start next tuesday. They seem like a fun bunch!
Other than the fact that it's hotter here than in phoenix, things have gone really well. I will post pics of the kids/house when I borrow my mom's camera this weekend.
Oh yeah...the big news... OUR HOUSE SOLD! It closed yesterday. What a load off our shoulders! Things just seem to be going our way right now...which is really really nice!
So sorry for the lapse in communication, I am sure you all will understand!
Karen
