Bye-Bye Minnesota!

I said good-bye to our house today, the house that I brought both of my babies home from the hospital to. It was a long day, so when it was time to leave, I didn't have the chance to say good-bye and reminisce the way I should have. Even though we have only lived there for 6 years, there are so many memories tied to that house. I remember where I was standing when telling Jay that I was pregnant with Jack and where I was dancing with Jack the first time he laughed. I remember Lucy learning to roll and sit and walk all in our living room, and having her sleep in a crib at the foot of our bed so that the first thing we saw in the morning was her smiling at us. I remember where I was standing when we got the news that Lucy is perfectly healthy. There are so many memories in that house and I am afraid that some could now be lost without being in the home. I know there are plenty of new memories waiting to be made in the new house, but it is still hard.
It is also hard to no longer be a Minnesotan. I have loved living in the Twin Cities and will miss so many friends that we have made and the places we have discovered. I know we will come back often to visit and I am already looking forward to our first vacation to our old city. Maybe I can claim to be part Minnesotan since we still own our house there.
We close on our new house tomorrow (fingers crossed! this has been quite the ordeal!) and we should be moving in on Wednesday. I am excited for our first night in our new house and for Lucy to FINALLY have her own room, but I will be sad not to fall asleep with her only a few feet from me. I am definitely NOT excited for unpacking....ugh...I used to enjoy things like that, but with two kids running around....ugh....We will see if I have found any of the Christmas stuff by next December....ugh....

Where are we?

Yes, we are still here...Yes, I WILL be blogging soon...I promise.

Life has been crazy busy lately, scratch that, I mean life is still busy! But, life looks pretty calm in a couple of weeks, which then I will catch back up on blogging. Until then, I will stay busy with Lucy's first birthday, Jack's preschool, Lucy's party and moving our family to another state! So, I better get back to packing and I promise that blogging will recommence shortly after we are in our new house.
