At Your Request...

So, some people have been asking for an update, no names mentioned (Jenn). Soooo, here's the latest buzz around the hive...

Jason left on the 11th (feels more like the full two weeks already) to start work for his dad's company. He's glad to be back but missing his little family, even Kodi. He's staying with his family right now, which probably feels like high school again, but I'm glad he's got company.

The boys are really missing him and it's starting to take it's toll. Sebastian's getting cranky and frustrated and not listening as much as he usually does and Shanon's got some separation anxiety going on, which isn't always fun for mom or the kids. I'm missing Jason a lot and can't sleep so I'm throwing myself into full-time CraigsListing, advertising everything we don't want to lug back over to Bend and have a yard sale planned for Saturday...Hopefully it'll go well. I'm "considering all offers" and hoping to get rid of everything for a good price, but mostly so we don't have to pack it all back up again.

I'm planning to be out of the house and over to Bend by the beginning of September but we can keep our furniture here until we have time to move it, so it'll make the place nice and cozy when house hunters come cruising through the place.

My family isn't too happy that we're moving back. They're worried they won't see the boys much, but we don't get to spend everyday with them anyway, so I think it'll be easier than we're all anticipating. My poor Nana is upset all the time about us leaving, I feel so bad! I feel like we're just leaving her all alone. I know she isn't alone, but I wish she had friends to take her mind off the little things.

I'm going to miss Seb's school too. He did awesome there, and although I can't just transfer him to a new preschool, I'm sure we'll find lots to do over in Bend to keep him sharp and happy. It's really breaking my heart that we're leaving some really great friends. Jason & I made some amazing friends here and I know we're going to have to look into long distance or the phone bill is going to be huge! Thankfully, we're only going to be a few hours away from everyone here.

I feel a little guilty that I'm not more upset about moving, but I'm so happy to be coming back to the church and friends we left in Bend. There's so much to do there and I feel like I really fit in better there than here. I feel like I found "home". So even though my family and friends are going to miss us I know they understand that we're doing what's best for our family. What's going to make us happy.

I can't wait to get home! To friends, and family, and church, and mostly Jason!
