So, we just got news tonight that we've got one month to move out of this house. Our landlord is going through a divorce and needs to move back into this house for personal reasons, which I get (I think). But, WOW!! One month?! Really!? I'm 2 months from having this little guys and I'm freeking out here!! It would be different if we had a place lined up, or atleast one in mind. But we dont and I'm not about to just get a place just because we need to be out. I want to feel good about moving into the place and I want my kids to feel comfortable about it too (although, Skyler and I do get the final say so). I'll have about 4 weeks until Kyson will be ready to come and if I want him to stay in his little incubator for that long I'm not going to be able to do a darn thing around here! Which frusterates me completly! I'm so independant when it comes to moving. I love the help, don't get me wrong. But, I'm usually right there with the guys lifting furniture and moving as fast as I can to get the packing done and the move done as quick as possible. Not this time around I'm not! It's going to make me crazy! So, we are getting a storage unit tomorrow (hopefully) and are going to start moving things we dont need in there. Then I'll make some calls tomorrow as well, to see in any houses are for rent. And then hopefully with in a week, we'll find something (crossing my fingers).
On a more spiritual note, I know that I'm completly stressing out and I am planning on going a little more crazier than I am now with in the next month... I know that with out a doubt that this is going to be a good move for us and I do that everything is going to work out for the better of us. About 3 weeks ago, Skyler and I decided that we don't want to buy right now. The reason being is when Skyler is done with school, he's going to find a job in the field that he's going to school for (something in computer software) and if that ends up making us move out of town, then buying a house right now would be not very smart if in 3 years, we end up having to move. If we don't move, that's great! But, we feel we need to just wait, and waiting we will. But, I talked to our landlord about not buying the house and she told us that would be fine. She told us that she's going through a divorce and that if anything was to happen, it wouldn't be for a year or so. So, I did see us moving out eventually. The silly thing was though, latley I've felt that we weren't going to be in this house for very long, and i just chalked it up to, yeah, we're going to move within a years time. I didn't think 'not very long' would be 30 days! So, Skyler and I told our kids that we'd have to be moving soon and we still have to find another house. Our smart little Kyen came back with the comment of, "Okay, here's what we've gotta do. We've gotta think about this, think about it tonight alot, and then we've gotta pray about it, and then tomorrow we can talk about it. And everything is going to work out. I know it'. Yes, I'm not joking! Those wise words came from my sweet little 4 year old who's favorite game to play right now is Mario Brothers! Skyler gave him a big hi-five and I wanted to cry (partially because my hormones are through the roof right now). So, we've got alot of praying and thinking to do in the next few weeks and i feel as though I have ALOT of cleaning to do! I want this house to be in better shape than when we moved in and it will be. I will make sure of it, just so I know that we get our deposit back, no questions asked. To bring this blog to a close, I have so much faith that things are going to work out with this move and that our little Kyson is going to be a healthy baby coming into this world. And I pray that we find a house that we feel good about soon. All I need to do is just breathe...
Moving is so hard to do under normal circumstances, Especially with kids! But I totally understand where you are coming from, 3 of the houses that we rented we had to move out because they had forclosed! I have also moved two times being pregnant as well. It stinks not being able to help. But you guys are amazing and of course you'll be fine :) it's heavenly fathers plan after all!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, your little Kyen is so sweet! It's amazing how much we can learn from our little kids.
ReplyDeleteMoving is stressful! We moved last year when I was in my last trimester. I felt so helpless! Just remember not to over do it. Do what you can. Clean a little bit each day and save the heavy lifting for your hubs. You have lots of family and friends that would love to help you.
I love that you are blogging. It makes me want to start blogging again! Keep it up. :)
I'm here to help!!! Let me know what and when and where!
