not forgotten... just paused.

I know I know this blog has been put on the back burner. I haven't forgot about it for sure... if anything I think about it often. I think about the fact that I won't be living outside the city limits anymore and I've been wondering do I change the name?

I also have a newborn and a 3.5 year old who is having to do way to much growing up for my liking.

• Wiping herself (TMI?)
• Washing her own hands
• Playing outside by herself (I checked on her once and it was as if I was totally interrupting)
• Getting out of the car without help
• Going to bed without a story and songs... (every night like we use to)

Baby D and her have been taking a great nap at the same time for the last couple weeks. I have been joining them.. but my night sleep has been taking a hit. It is taking me way to long to fall asleep. That is pretty good for a mom with a 5 week old I think. I'm really rested and except for the fact that I can't eat enough and drink enough I'm doing really great...

except........................

Mr. D has been in the "Ville" (that's what we will call the new place we are moving to) for the last 2.5 weeks. We fly out on Tuesday at 6am. You read that correctly... 6am. So we have to be at the airport say 4am... that puts up getting up at....well I don't even want to think about it. I won't be having the problem cause I will be up feeding Baby D around 2-3 am. I have adjusted to getting up then. It will be getting the rest of the travelers up. I don't have any idea how Miss D will do with that. I think that she will be so excited for an airplane ride that she won't care until maybe around noon when it hits her that she got up at 3am. What gives me peace it knowing that the day will end and we will make it to the Ville and we will see DADDY!

We miss him so much.

What is so sad is that Baby D was 3 weeks when he left and will be 6 weeks when we are together again. That is half his life. He will be twice as old and so much bigger. May I add that he is getting so chubby. YUM!

Well... back to laundry because I was running out of clean non-spit up pottied clothes.

(and certainly not because of me)

3000 miles away

Well it is official... almost all my belongings (minus what I have here that hopefully I can cram into my suitcase) are 3000 miles away. Mr. D and T made the trek across the country in 5 days. I enjoyed getting updates on their progress on Facebook via mobile updates from T. All of our belongings are unloaded in the garage of our new "home". The grass needed to be mowed and I think that was taken care of by a neighbor. We also had some people from the church that we attended during our two past trips come and help unload the truck. How cool is that? It sounds like the previous owner didn't clean very well upon moving out. Bummer. Not sure if Mr. D will see that as a priority? But I can't be picky from 3000 miles away right?

I sit here with both of my children sleeping... one of who really misses her daddy. I sit here knowing that soon I will be moving away from everything that I have ever known. I think about the unknown and decide that it is easier to not go there and not have any expectations of what my future holds. I do have to say that I an excited for my future. Don't get me wrong... it will be terrible to take my 3 year old and newborn away from everything that we know as normal. Miss D has a life here and she knows what to expect when she wakes up. She knows where we are going when I say..." Do you want to go to Garden"...? On the way to "Garden" we pass by "Bible School" and she sees the building and knows exactly where she is. I'm about to seriously rock her little world. No more Garden... no more bible school. We are enrolled for bible school in the new town that we will be living in... I will just need to find someone to watch baby D one day a week for 3 hours. I'm leaving that up to God to work that out. I know that bible school (BSF) is something that we can have as a part of Miss D's life that will be the same as here. I'm thankful for that. This will be my 4th year of BSF... We are studying the book of John this year.

16 days and counting...

See you Soon.

Mr. D is leaving town today and my computer is all packed up. He is also taking this laptop that I"m typing on right now. I will try and do a post at my In-laws house... But I may just see you on the other side. We fly out on August 4th...

Good Bye Life outside the City Limits...

Our next house we will be living in is well inside the city limits. It is in a neighborhood!

Crazy Exciting TIMES!
