- Andrew is 11 months old, as of yesterday. I can't believe it. Crazy, man. I'm sure it's probably getting old, me talking about this every month he gets older, but I can't help it. I'm always telling Jason that I can't wait for Andrew to do walk, or talk, or be potty-trained, or something-or-other. Really though, I'm happy with how he is right now. He's such a happy boy, and I wouldn't have him any other way.
- I can't believe it's December already. I remember last December like it was yesterday. I was very pregnant, and couldn't wait for Andrew to be born. Jason had just started working at Melaleuca, and suddenly spent a lot more time at home than when he had a landscaping job an hour away. We couldn't go anywhere for Thanksgiving and DEFINITELY couldn't go anywhere for Christmas, being so close to my due date, and it was pretty depressing. This year, we're in Ohio (for the moment), Jason just finished an internship, and Andrew is nearly a year old. And we're all still alive and well. Thank heaven!
- I also can't believe that we're about to leave Ohio! I was looking forward to being out here for MONTHS because we'd be with my family, and now that the time has come to get ready to leave, I'm not sure that I'm ready yet. There are things I'm looking forward to, like having our own place again with our own rules, but I'll miss my family a lot.
- The moving part of leaving Ohio is what I'm really not looking forward to. I hate trying to pack up everything, making sure we have all the things we need and not leave anything behind. It'd almost be easier to just pack up everything and move completely, but since we're living at my parents' house, that's not going to happen. We'll just comb the house for anything that might be ours, and hope that we've got it all!
- I am looking forward to Christmas! We're celebrating it with Jason's family for the first time since we've been married, and I'm really excited. Normally the family goes to Oregon to celebrate at Jason's grandma's house, but that's not happening this year. One of Jason's cousins is getting married the day after Christmas, and Grandma is going to it. Anyway, we'll still be celebrating with some of Jason's siblings at his mom's house, and I'm looking forward to it. I love Christmas!
I think that's about it. Rambling is something I do well, especially when I can't think of anything of real importance to say.
It really is crazy that Andrew is already 11 months old! I totally know how you feel, about being excited to see them grow older but at the same time just enjoying them at this age! It's sad to think that every day they're a day older! *tear* :)
ReplyDeleteToo bad your fun visit with your family is almost over, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm really excited that you guys are coming back. :) And I also don't look forward to moving/packing. We have to fit it all into our tiny car! AH! I don't know how we'll do it. When are you guys actually moving back here???
