Pile it on. . .

We were not planning on going anywhere for Christmas this year, I am 9 months pregnant and driving to Utah was not on my agenda. However, after a lot of talk and realizing that if we didn't go that would be 3 years not seeing my family for Christmas. They have never spent Christmas with my little girl. SO we went for a few days and spent Christmas Eve with my family then headed home on Christmas Day.

Here is my attractive family (most of them in Pajama pants that I made!!)

We are growing, this is us 5 years ago:

It was a lot of fun to spend time with family. We went ice skating, saw the lights at Temple Square, made gingerbread houses and most importantly spent time with family. When I get a chance I will post pics of all those activities.

Now to the point of this post. Over the holiday Travis was offered a new job. YAY!!! He will be the director of programming and athletic training for the Wyoming State Special Olympics. Most people know that he used to teach skiing all over the state of Utah like Brianhead and Sundance. What most people don't know is that he also taught adaptive skiing and snow and rock climbing.

(my husband rocks!!) This job is a perfect combination of his outdoor skills and his desire to always help others. This means we are moving to Casper Wyoming (just over 2 hours away from where we are at). We are moving as soon as possible.

SO here is my list. We got home from Utah with presents and I look over my house and it is still not fully cleaned up from the holiday festivities. (I am a slacker- and we have been sick).

I need to pack to move. I am so pregnant and ready to pop but I have a baby to still get ready for. (we are having a home birth) which means I need to set up a nice space for the water birth tub and all the things we need. We need to find a place to live in Casper in the next 2 weeks. I am due in 2 weeks. Travis has training in North Carolina 5 days after my due date (please baby come before he leaves town) then he leaves to Jackson Hole for the Winter games the following week. I am feeling overwhelmed and I feel like I have no energy to accomplish everything. I am not complaining because all these things are blessings. I am thrilled to have our little boy join us. I am so happy and proud of Travis and this opportunity. I am okay with moving, we have put a lot into our house and I am not excited to go from owning to renting until we can sell our house but there are worse things out there.

I am emotional ALL THE TIME! Olivia is tolerating me, even though I am super afraid I am neglecting her. She moved her picture of Jesus (see earlier post) to her bed. She now sleeps with him. Last night she was partially asleep and coughing and I walked in to check on her and asked her how she was. She grabbed her picture and said, "I'm good. He is staying with me."

Thank heaven for a more spiritually in tune child. She teaches me to just calm down and know that everything is fine.

So just pile it on, we are ready to conquer the world (or at least our little corner of it).
