Transitions

Good Morning:

The move is looming in a week or so and I can't wait!  I can't believe this is MLK weekend.  I am ready to get unpacked already.  There are tons of decorating and organizing ideas swirling around in my head and I am ready to implement them in our new house.  Good thing we get a little extra money from the Navy so that Harper can get some big girl furniture, including a big girl bed.  I hate to take her out of the crib while it still works so well.  But, Mason is ready for the crib and I'm ready for her to be out of our bedroom.

Harper sleeps very well in the crib but I guess you have to start growing up at some point.  I'm not looking forward for her transition into a little girl's room, but we've got to start sometime.  Also, the ol' bobby (pacifier) will be going bye bye pretty soon after we move too.  Once we get used to our new house and room, the bobby will be saying adios.  

Mason has her 4 month check up today.  I'm sure she'll have to have shots...my favorite.  I don't mind the shots but I know how crummy she feels afterwards.

I have cut my hair off recently and thought that would fulfill my hankering for change.  It did for a little while but I'm still not happy.  I love my hair, but I think my feelings for change root deeper than wanting just a new look for myself.  I think my uncontrollable longing for change is tied to my weight.  I am unhappy with how I look in the mirror and even more unhappy about all of the clothes in my closet that I cannot wear.  Granted, I am not morbidly obese and I did just have a baby, but I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight...and that is too heavy for where I want to be.  Tommy and I are going to scope out some gyms in our new town and hope to join up soon after we arrive.  I feel so lazy and cooped up down here.  There is not a good place to get out and walk, much less play outside with the kids.

So, I'm hoping that when we move, we will all have a smooth transition into our new, but familiar and improved, life! 

That is enough rambling for the moment. 
I may be out of touch the next few weeks, but I'll be back eventually!

Hi Everyone!

I know it has been a while since my last post, but there is always a long time in between posts because my life is crazy.  We had a great holiday season but as always, I'm glad that it is OVER!  Family and traveling is great, but it is so nice to come home and get back into our schedule.

We won't be on schedule for much longer though.  At the end of the month, we are moving to New Bern, North Carolina.  Tommy has been stationed at MCAS Cherry Point.  We will be renting a sweet house with lots of yard and space, which I'm very excited about.  Our new house will have double what we are living in now.  Check it out here.  I can't tell you how excited I am to get out of Florida.  I'll miss the great beach at Perdido Key, but that is about it. 

Right now it is looking like Tommy will have to deploy at some point.  We will know more about that soon I hope. 

That's about it for now.  We are just gearing up for the big move. 
Laters Baby,
