Isn't Jericho the cutest. Look at those little toes. I can't wait to spend more time with him. Which brings me to my next topic.
Lots of stuff changing around the old homestead.
We are moving from the country back to a city. Back in 2008 when we moved here, I was so excited about the peace and quiet... I so had it set in my mind that I was a country girl at heart, that I didn't allow myself to be unhappy with the way things were. So what if it took 30 minutess to get to the nearest grocery store, or there was no delivery for pizza. I wont mention the first 2 years here struggling with an antenna so we could pick up 3 channels, 2 of which were the same programming but different stations. There wasnt a single cable company that came out this far and the landlords at that time were very anti-Dish. Who cared that if we lost power we had no water or working plumbing. You just had to walk across the road to the lake and get water to flush the commode. Anyways... after almost 4 years here we are moving again. This time to a city larger then the one we used to live in. Waterville Maine... home of the Waterville High School Panthers and oddly enough the same city my sister and her family live in. We definitely didn't plan it that way. We tried to find a place nearer to the husbands work. They have a fantastic high school there and we were so excited about Maddy possibly going to that school. We had no interest in buying a house with the economy the way it is... and the job field, we didn't want to tie ourselves to another community the husband would have to commute from. Been there done that and its not fun. So... we were looking for a house, not an apartment, and one where we would be happy for the next 3 years at least. Once Maddy is out of high school we will have a better idea about the future of this new company the husband is working for, and just might be ready to buy a house or some land.
The new place we are renting is nice... I can't wait to get moved, but the journey there is going to be a bit long and a bit rough. It will work out though, just have to keep telling myself that, and all will be well. The best part... it's in a city. They have actual coffee shops, grocery stores and a big old library all within a minutes drive or walk. We will be 45 minutes closer to the eldest daughter, and the husband will be 25 mins from his job.
We have decided that the night we move in, we are going to celebrate by ordering pizza and getting it delivered. Ahh... the good life.
*grins* I guess I am a city girl after all.
