Crazy Beautiful...


Let's address CRAZY:
Two weeks ago we received the news - the news that was a blessing, but didn't quite feel like one. The Beloved Spouse was offered and accepted a management position in the "great state" of Illinois. He was to report to work the following Monday and would be flown home on the weekends. Great.... I was really excited - right...


You don't realize how much you love the place you live until you're faced with the prospect of moving. And gosh, I am a ridiculous sucker for Idaho. Once, after a vacation to Mexico, I remember stepping off the airplane into the Boise airport -riding down the escalator I spotted the state seal and was overcome with such patriotism that I started humming the state song. I know that puts me in a whole new realm of loser status - but let the truth be told my friends- I won't be ashamed :)
So the Beloved Spouse and the Domestic Goddess in Training have been feeling a little overwhelmed - constantly trying to remember that this is a blessing - and unfortunately, despite our despair (so dramatic, I know), we feel truly good about it.

Beautiful:
3 days after this delightful news I sat down with Little C's father to discuss visitation arrangements. To make a long story short - nothing was determined - but the most wonderful thing occurred.

We received permission for Little C to be sealed to the Beloved and I for time and all eternity.

The biggest blessing alive has already taken place due to our scheduled move and we couldn't be more grateful.



So here are my boys :)! In a few weeks we'll add another to the bunch. But the great news is, they'll be all mine... FOREVER!
