Growing Old

I have an 8-month-old today.

Tomorrow is Andrew's last day of kindergarten, and then he'll officially be in 1st grade.

Next school year, David will be able to start preschool.

I'm old enough to have a 1st grader????? How did this happen?

Jason turns 30 next month, and I'll turn 29 in September. I know we're not old, but sometimes I think about how long it's been since I was in high school, since I was single, since I had Andrew and all the things that have happened since then. I can't help but feel a bit ragged from the frantic pace time has decided to take. In what feels like the blink of an eye, I'll be 85, hugging my grandkids (great-grandkids?!?!?), needing hearing aids, and complaining about not understanding recent technology. Oh wait, I already don't understand all the recent technology...

Life is pressing steadily forward. I need to hurry up and do the things I want with my life or I'll look back and wonder what I did with all the time.

Everything is sore...

And it's not from going to the gym. I wish it was! I have a lingering cold that turned into a cough that has somehow morphed into something like allergies + cold symptoms. I took NyQuil, Tylenol, and rubbed some Vick's VapoRub on me, so wish me luck that I'll feel better in the morning. I'll need all the help I can get - my children show no mercy!

In Other News...

We're moving this summer, and it's going to be a big one. We've loved living in Northern Kentucky for the last (almost) two years, but we want our boys to go to a Spanish immersion elementary school, and because Jason works from home, we're able to move quite easily to get them into one. So, this time two months from now, we'll be living in...

Saint George, Utah!

Yep, we're moving to Utah, and I'll be joining the ranks of Ohioans that live there. (Though, admittedly, I'm pretty sure none of them will be living anywhere near us.) We're pretty stinkin' excited, especially considering that one of Jason's sisters lives in Saint George, and another lives in Las Vegas - only about a 2-hour drive from there. We'll be closer to just about all of Jason's family, which is a huge plus. I'll be sad to be further from my parents and older sister, but my younger sister will be about 5-6 hours away, which is really exciting!

I'm not sure what the future holds in store for us in Saint George yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out.
