here we are! Goodness gracious I cannot believe it's been so long! Hello obvious indicator of the swirling chaos that is my day to day!
At last update, we were crammed into our tiny apartment, had no clue which new job Marty would be offered/accept, didn't know where we would live when our lease was up (not even which state!), and I was physically holding myself back from ripping my hair out from the silent stress of the unknown. My reaction to change is to panic. Healthy!
My, my! What fabulous coping skills you have!I will begin by prefacing this quickie update with news that all is well and (soon-to-be) settled in the Loggins sphere now. Just took a few months to get to this point! I will also warn that my memory is about 75% shot - either I'm getting old, my past party years finally caught up to me, or...wait...I'm the Mom of a toddler tornado! Did I even eat dinner last night? Can't remember a darn thing!
October brought many outdoor, Fall-tastic events, costumes, play dates, climbing, road trips to Arkansas for M's interviews, and lots of fun in the warm weather!
November brought cooler temps, family and friends in town visiting, a very successful road trip to Mena and Bentonville for Thanksgiving, and William's first mini-break at Lake Eufaula (gorgeous!), and finally, M's decision to accept a new job in Lewisville! I was over the moon, and flew even higher when his current company basically lost their proverbial shizz at the thought of him leaving and countered. What a nice counter offer it was! Sooooo after all the traveling and negotiating and stress, we came full circle and aren't going anywhere! Well, we did find a fabulous little house for us to rent in Frisco as we continue to save for a down payment for our "real" home (if only we were independently wealthy...hah!) :) The temporary casa is small and adorable and brand spanking new - can't wait to make it our own when we move in at the end of January!
December brought our 2nd wedding anniversary, wonderful holiday celebrations with family and friends, my dream bling from hubby, and the launch of the aforementioned home search!
January so far, has been the busiest month of all! Aside from touring exactly 73,004 houses, we found THE one. Papers were signed. Money was forked over. Boxes are packed. Movers are hired. We got the keys today!!! I am looking forward to play dates, potty training, new memories, outdoor space of our own, a garage, a laundry room, pool, splash park, playground, and all of the every day tiny wonders that happen when you hang out with William (who is growing like a weed!!!).
