Moving on up....

It is true. We are moving on up to the...north side. Our family is leaving Bellevue. Such a bittersweet feeling. This is where Cameron and I have spent our married life so far, where we decided to expand our family, and most importantly where we brought Elliott home. He has spent this first year here...the year of so much change. Our family and ward family helped us through a tough couple of months after my son was born. These people are amazingly loving and embraced us from the beginning. It gives me hope that the next ward we are going to will show us the same.

Now, I will let you in on a little secret. I am pretty darn terrible with change. It can make me cry just moving from one place to another in the SAME city. That being said, moving this far away is giving me the heebie jeebies. Good ones though. In my heart and soul, I know it is the right move. We have prayed and cried and prayed some more. So here we are on a Sunday evening, watching Iron Chef America (which I absolutely love), eagerly awaiting a response on an offer we put on a home. Please send good thoughts our way---we really really really want this home. The thought of our children growing up in one place, in one home gives us great joy.

Okay dokey. Moving on...to another subject. Life here has been off the wall. The last time I updated the blog was just after Elliott's first birthday. I'll give you an abbreviated version of our life since then.

*Elliott got a horrible stomach bug the night of his birthday. He spend the next week and a half upchucking everything and anything. He spent some time at the ER of Children's Hospital getting some hydration. No worries though, he is in tip top shape. Gained the weight back and is finally sitting in his carseat facing forward. YEAH!!

*I stopped working out. lol..I know big surprise...ya'll probably didn't know I was working out to begin with. Well, I was. And then Elliott got sick and I was in a haze of smelly laundry and holding a sick baby. Oh, such joy it is to hold your child in your arms...no matter the reason. However, back to the lack of working out. I sort of got out of the habit...and believe me, I need to be moving my butt. Gots to get this extra baby weight off so I can start planning for the second wee one. So...I'm going to the gym tomorrow at 6:30 in the morning. What?!? I am!

*Cameron is busy busy as always. He is currently looking for more projects....Yeah, I don't get it either.

*At the moment I am knee deep in paint samples and laminate floor samples. I have got to figure out what to do and what colors before we actually move in. I was so not born an interior decorator. Props to those who actually know what goes with what.

*I don't think I have anymore at the moment, so I'll leave you with some pictures :) Or...I won't. I can't make it work...let me see if I can do it in another post.
