Saying Goodbye

Wow, so Jimmy and my Dad just left for the long drive and Mom, Cait and I are flying up Saturday morning! I must say, I am really excited to see where we're living! I've seen pictures online but it will be fun to make a place home...at least for 9 months, then we'll move to Richmond. Ugh, hate moving. It is supposed to be beautiful up there and there is so much to do. Jimmy insists on going to a different museum every Sunday. Lots to see for little Cait. It will definitely be different for me not having my parents around to hang out with. Mostly my Mom, since I see her like every other day, if not every day. She really is my best friend. Other than Jimmy of course. That comfort won't be there, but in a way it will be like being in Gainesville again, which I loved. I missed my family, but yet thrived away from them...if that makes sense. I was forced to depend on only myself and I did pretty well at it. Now, Jimmy and I will have the real test of solely depending on one another for literally everything. I think we will only grow closer. More later...

The Beginning...

So I finally decided to "give in" and start my own blog since so many of my amazing mommy friends have them. I have really enjoyed reading their thoughts, and while I have so many of own opinions and ideas while reading them I figure I should have my own. So here I go...

*sigh* Yes. If you haven't heard yet, we are moving to Springfield, VA for 9 months and then moving to Richmond for 4-5 years. That's as much as we know now. Which is probably enough, however, I am one to want to know exactly what's going on, where I'll be, so I can plan, plan, plan. Who knows what the future holds after that.

I suppose the only time I will be able to jot down these thoughts is when Cait naps, which I'm never sure how long that will be these days. I plan for this to be a stream of consciousness style of writing so forgive me if I jump around. That's how my mind works. Plus, this will be somewhat therapeutic for me as well. I often have too many thoughts running through my mind so at least I can get some of it down.

I suppose it would be appropriate to write about being a first time mom eh? I always knew it would be hard, I mean really hard, and yet I still can't say I was prepared for it to be this hard. I've always been one to be involved in everything, out doing things with different people constantly, and yet I find most of my days sitting around watching old episodes of LOST. I know, kinda sad eh? I've kinda gotten in a slump or pattern if you will of this, simply because well, it's easier with Caitlyn. While it may not seem that difficult, the thought of loading her up, packing a million things, making sure Sarge is taken care of, not to mention myself, up and down the stairs a few times just to get everything in the car...it's exhausting. It's easier to just eat, nap, read, and play...in the house. Hopefully I will get out of this slump soon, because I know it's not good for me or Caitlyn...it's like I'm anxiously waiting for us to move...
