um, i think that is the name of a recent movie that i really wanted to see....but, well never did because we have a baby and stuff going on :) actually quite a bit of stuff. i was trying to think of a way to break all that stuff down for everyone.....and have decided not to even try :) we moved----west! and if you know us then you know where, and if you don't, then you probably shouldn't be interested anyway (my attempt to keep creepy people away). AND now we are adjusting, which gives me a very good excuse to to be somewhat negligent of our lovely little blog lately, which has also been adjusted as you now well know :) time to make some changes--for the better :) i was going to post pre,during,and post move but decided not to because of all the emotions flipping and cartwheeling through my bitty brain, and was glad that i didn't because i probably would have written something pretty sappy/pathetic and it would have sounded probably a lot like this:
so we are here now! everyone has been more than awesome with helping us out/offering encouragement and we most definitely appreciate it. moving is difficult to do and i couldn't imagine doing it without the great support system that we have. austin started his first day of work today! i packed him a surprise lunch in a sweet, old-school batman lunch pail that i snagged before leaving. and then, as it turned out, he was able to come home for lunch (play above video again). ah well, it was fun and i wanted to make him laugh so he wouldn't be as nervous.
henry is doing okay, he actually slept through the night last night!!! he hasn't done that in several weeks since we started boxing things up and moving stuff around. he hardly napped too, so he would often have what i like to call "wack attacks" from being sleep deprived. i think the whole moving thing really threw him for a loop because he was starting to recognize and feel a sense of "home" where we were, and then everything that was familiar to him began to disappear. i felt pretty bad about it, but he will learn to love his new surroundings. in fact we went for a wagon ride and checked out the new park today and he loved it :)
i am on the job hunt and have sent out some applications. of course, i would really love a job that requires the masters degree i worked so hard to complete....but we will see. i am trying my very best to be patient, but i'm really not good at waiting around for stuff like this...and i really hope i get one of the jobs that i applied for because i would sooo love it, but i am not going to tell you what it is in case i jinx myself or something. in the meantime just know that this is playing over and over in my head in regards to the whole unemployment situation:
weird right? so i feel i might need to explain this some so i will, this scene is from the movie "Land of the Lost" in which they spoof the musical "A Chorus Line" throughout... the name of the song is "I hope I get it"......get it? :)
nothing like a short clip from a movie making fun of a favorite musical to express how you truly feel :)
AND here are some random images of henry playing with playdough for your enjoyment :) this is before we left and i needed to get things done/packed, and henry was so good at unpacking things as i packed them....so i got him some playdough as a distraction....and it may have distracted me as well :)
henry especially loooved when i made him some sesame street characters-haha he was so funny with them
he was pretty good about not squishing elmo's face.
until he wasn't.
i am sure that elmo's face would serve as a great metaphor for something right now....perhaps for how austin and i felt when henry wasn't sleeping at night? :)
ps--for those interested, today is also austin and my third wedding anniversary :) i could go on and say something like, my how the years have flown by......but i won't...unless...i just did...i guess :)
pss--it is totally going to irk my dad that i began this post with "um" hi dad!
