Party On

Moving is not the jam. Some studies indicate it’s one of life’s top 3 stressors, while others don’t even place it in the top 10. I’m just saying, it’s not the most fun I’ve ever had, but I’m glad we did it anyway. I have to admit there were times I wondered what the heck I was doing. I urged Josh to put the house on the market so we wouldn’t have to move at 6 months pregnant and here I was at 24 weeks pregnant (mm hmm do the math) finishing our move. During the process it felt like the small bumps in the road were huge signs saying “Hey! You made a mistake”. The title company was just randomly closed for two days (4 with the weekend), and we ended up being homeless for 7 days. Thank goodness my sister is a short flight away! Eli loved seeing his family and still asks daily if we can go on a plane to Denver.  On our way back they delayed our flight just long enough to miss the closing because of ICE! IN MAY! And because I missed the closing it was a convoluted process that took 2.5

We said goodbye to our poor dog today. I thought I would be completely fine, I mean there's only so much eh hem, crap, one pregnant woman can clean up. Regardless, I still cried when his nice new owner offered to let us come by anytime. I'm so scared Eli is going to be devastated. That dog was his best friend, but as my friend pointed out, he'll have a new best friend, a little brother, in a few short months. Optimus didn't seem to be bothered at all. He hopped in the car without any prodding and was like "bye suckers!"  We're moving out of our house on Monday and Eli and I are off to Denver until the 16th when we will close on our townhouse. He's super excited to see his cousins, Tenley in particular. I told him we were going to say goodbye to Optimus, get on a plane to Denver to see his cousins, then maybe go swimming to which he replied "that sounds fun." Wish us luck! Once we get settled I will feel relieved. Week 22 Baby'
