Almost the day!

I am moving this Saturday. I feel like NOTHING is done, when in all actuality it's coming around great. I am just worried I won't get stuff done and then Aaron will have to do it, and let's face it, it won't get done if I leave it to him to do it. So, currently I have some stress on my shoulders. Also, Aaron's car broke down a week before the move. :( So he HAS to quit his job at FED EX, when that money was gonna help with school. So, now there is more stress. BLAH.

So, I am just packing and trying to gather stuff up for D.I. runs. Hopefully it can be all taken care of and we can leave at our schedueled time (5am) on Saturday morning. I'm a little worried because I'm driving with Noah while Aaron is driving by himself in the truck. I NEVER EVER drive that long by myself. For one, I HATE driving. Everytime we go on a road trip I sleep while Aaron drives. I also can't drive when it gets dark out. My eyes become itchy and tired so I have to take out my contacts, and if I wear my glasses while driving it makes me more sleepy. I just hope we can get to WA by 8 or 9pm. Then the next day we have to get up and unload the truck. I am getting some people telling me they want to help, but .... I don't know if it will really happen. We honestly don't have that much stuff, but my father just had stomach surgery and I don't know how much he is going to help ... and I don't want him to if it hurts him.

I'm also a tinsey bit sad to move all of a sudden. Utah has been my home for almost 6 years now. It's going to be wierd living with my parents again, and being in Washington again. We will see how it goes. I hope well.

Here's some pics of Noah ....

#1. If someone takes a picture of me I have to look at it and if it doesn't look right the picture has to be taken again and again until it looks decent.

#2. When I shower I have to shampoo and then rinse right away. After I put in conditioner and then I have to wash my face, shave my legs and then wash my body with body wash. I can't do a different routine, or I have to start over (I sometimes don't shave my legs so I can save time).

#3. If I write a letter I sometimes have to write and rewrite until my handwriting is perfect.

#4. If I don't listen to certain song everyday my day doesn't seem the same.

#5. I always have to have a blanket on me, even when it's hot ... or a pillow.

#6. When I put on perfume I have to spray on my wrists and then put my wrists behind my ears and under my knees. In that order.

Some updates ..

Well,we are only 14 days away from our adventure in moving to Washington. Is it silly for me to be scared? I mean, it's my hometown! I haven't lived in Washington since 2001, almost 8 years. I have mostly everything packed here and all the rooms cleaned and we took all of our crap to the D.I. (goodwill) yesterday. Our neighbors (whom I will miss because they are so wonderful) came by and looked through our garage and bought a bunch of stuff and gave us $100. I was like, um, we were going to take this the D.I. so you can just have it. He was persistant so I took it. I feel bad, but he said he felt bad cuz he felt like he was robbing me. LOL. So we are on our way ... and I'm nervous.

Noah is doing great! I think he's teething again because he's drooling like mad and has a real runny nose. So, he keeps getting up in the middle of the night WAILING. If anyone has any tips to help him that would be great. Sometimes he won't go back to bed and I have to turn on Finding Nemo and he will watch it and then go back to bed. I just want him to sleep through the night and he won't :(.

He is climbing up and down stairs now. I know ... he's almost 17 months and he just learned. We didn't have stairs that he could learn on. Well, we do,but we spend our time upstairs and not downstairs so he never learned. At the places I nannied I had to block the stairs because I couldn't spend my time teaching him when I had to watch the other kids. So, now he knows I feel so relieved. He also claps and waves bye bye. He's so cute. :)

That's it for now!

It's Offical

We're moving. Yup after not living in Washington for 7 years I will be moving back! I am moving at the end of October and Aaron will stay in Utah until the end of December. He will be going back to school and I will be working. We will be living with my parents, so that will be quite different. I am excited but also feeling very nervous. I haven't lived in Washington for so long and I moved away for stupid reasons to begin with. We have actually known we were going ot move for quite sometime but we weren't sure on the exact date. Now since we are having a lot of issues with our home we have decided it is time to leave. We can't afford it here without help. I don't have any insurance by doing the nanny thing and it costs too much for aaron to put me on his. I already have a job lined up in Washington and I can have me, Aaron and Noah insured. Aaron will be able to go to school, as he wouldn't here in Utah. Well, he would but it would be part time and would take forever. UGH. So, anyways, that's the news.
