And Away we go!

Holy buckets. So much has happened over the past 6 weeks. It blows my mind. Seriously. I can still hear the wind through my skull. I got word today that we were approved for an apartment! We had applied for one that was 3 blocks from Summer, but were denied because we were stuck in a lease. Well, technically we still are. While up there for our 6 day Gypsy Adventure this week I stayed at my friend Nicole's apartment in between Beau's and visiting Kenny at Summer's. Super cute, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, on he country side of PDX, Rock Creek I believe is the name of the section in Hillsboro. PDX is so crazy! I spent 6 days driving around and I still couldnt tell you where I was most of the time. SO I will have a built in BFF in my complex, just a hop, skip, and some stairs away, my big bro Beau is 15 minutes away, and we will be 30 minutes from Summer and Kenny. I am so excited, yet absolutely scared. I have never left the 541 before. But living away from Kenny and Summer is no longer an option and its only been a few days. He needs us, She needs him, and I need something new! Zachary and I have discussed it and he is green light on the subject. He loves PDX, uncle Beau, and knows how much it means to us to be with Summer while she is sick and going through treatment. He made me feel much better about it, he gets it. I love him.

So I am planning n moving next weekend. They are going to start showing our house on Monday, with or without me there. So I have to figure out how to go from a 3 bedroom, 1200sq ft house with a full garage and a shed, to a 935 sq ft apartment with a storage area the size of my closet! Time to down size Mama. Big time. I have so much to do and get rid of in 1 week, its insane! Again, if you need any house stuff, let me know, cause I have WAY. TOO. MUCH! And my husband is in another city, so I will be doing the moving myself, with my mom and by the grace of god a brother or two. Feel free to come over and hang out, go through my stuff, and /or help. Any of the above will be much appreciated. If you have any pointers on moving to another area code, or into an apartment that I should know, drop me a line, cause I feel like I am drowning. You would think I would have a fab system for moving, since I've done it 8 times in the past few years, but this is different, I cant make 15 runs with my mini van, I have to do it all in one shot, boxes, u haul, the works. Ugh. Makes me nervous. But I am doing it. WE are doing it. My husband and I are going to build a life together, away from distractions, my old job, friends, enemies, families, just us, Megan, and the boys on the weekends. Who knows how long we will be there, or how this journey will play out, but I am trying to take it one day at a time for now. We shall see how that goes.

I have to go get Mego from baby school now. Tonight is the school carnival! She is going to have so much fun, Zach on the other hand, may think this is for babies, we shall see on that too!

Thank you so much for all of your love and support. I love you all. Thanks for reading!!
