really? really?
As I get closer to Christmas it is becoming more and more real to me that this Christmas will be different. It really still seems impossible that I'll be leaving Utah. I can't wrap my head around life outside of this place. It's been three long years and honestly I can't wait.Even better, Dave will be home for Christmas and then instead of leaving us, he's driving with us back halfway across the country. Beaumont Texas, here we come.
Oh baby, my heart pounds just to write that.
So this Christmas/holiday season truly feels like the best already. I can't wait. Even if I'm not sure all my stuff will fit in the storage unit, I can't wait.
P.S. I'll be blogging and keeping updates as we travel! As usual, it'll be a griswald vacation because we just can't seem to operate any other way. :)

Princess
the results of Princess' karate photo session are inand this is my fav
she totally didn't get those long legs from me, no wonder she's almost as tall as I am at 10 years old
a little sad though, not sure if she'll have a place to practice karate in Texas, we'll have to see about that
but my baby is so gorgeous here
and red headed, geeezzzz.....guess she did get my hair color

Step Four
More packing....So tomorrow bright and early I have packers coming, oh so thank you peeps. My goal is to stage all light furniture and boxes in the garage till Dave gets home. Fun times are coming. Today I accomplished nothing, seriously nothing. My stomach decided to revolt (it must dislike Utah too) and I decided that napping and resting was in order. Surprisingly I'm still tired and am ready for bed.
But tomorrow is a special day so it's early up for me.
Tomorrow my baby turns 7. My baby as in the youngest of my litter. My baby as in my precious little Duchess. Who is so freaking excited. So we're taking her out to lunch, my mom and I (three generations of redneck fun) and she requested a trip to the local rib joint. After we assured her it wasn't unladylike to be smeared with bbq.
I'm looking forward to spoiling my baby tomorrow.
And hopefully getting most of the rest of my house together. Sigh.....

Well...dang
I actually cooked tonight, a first this week. I've been so overwhelmed trying to get this place packed up and deal with all the hoopla that is involved. I'm exhausted and sore. I'm not lifting (much) but my energy levels are low. Having to moniter my bp again during the day. But there is an end in sight.Except I packed the kitchen except for pots/pans and it's dang hard to cook the dinner without the extras. Such as measuring cups........shit.
So here we go...
Dave lands in one week. Oh thank you Jesus.
Opps
So kids are in school, I'm unemployed and packing my house.GAC is blaring and I'm dancing around in my underwear....
And the UPS man knocks on the door.
Damn it.

oh my girlie
So Duchess had her Christmas program tonight. Fantastic....only complaint, the general NOISE produced from over 300 parents of first graders and a million little kids let loose in the gym during the kids performance. Insane people....keep your kids under control.....borrow my spoon, my belt or even my shoe!
Otherwise my baby was great. She's the punk in the pink plaid with the pink hat.......go baby go
