Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I have been busier than the busiest little bee! We went yesterday to look at our new house because we are moving to a new city for a fresh start surrounded by people who love us and want us near! We are really excited about it all and it all seems to have just fallen into place and we are so thankful to the great friends who have helped us every step of the way. Some of those friends we have to leave behind and some of those we are reconnecting with. Reconnecting is always better than leaving behind but life has this funny way of bringing you back together at the exact right time. We are pretty stressed and moving is difficult for me being that my baby bump is getting pretty big and all the stairs and lifting is a challenge but it has to be done and my husband has to work so what’s a girl to do?? Our new house is the perfect balance of what my husband and I like. I prefer houses that are filled with character and different designs (unlike the cookie cutter box we live in now) and he prefers the brand new with all new ac units! Well, best of both worlds in the new house because we have an older house with a fabulous open layout and little cute details and the WHOLE house has been redone and there are low-e windows and new ac and new wood floors and basically everything is new so we are both incredibly happy with it! I cannot wait to move in, decorate and have my friends and family over and make it a home. One of those friends will be my best buddy from high school that I saw for the first time in about ten years! We never had a falling out or anything but life took over and we took different paths and through the miracle of technology, we found each other and I spent the whole day yesterday with her and introduced her to my family and just laughed and laughed and had a blast! Lesson of the day: Reconnect with an old friend! Its so good for your soul!!
