I have been going through all the things in my head that need to be done before we move and I'm telling you I am about to go insane. Some days it feels like there is plenty of time and some days I look around and want to pull my hair out. I am so excited to be moving to Montana, but I also sit back and think of what we will be leaving. I don't feel that there is a lot that we are leaving, But Darrin has his whole family here. I am so thankful that I have a husband that loves me and wants me to be happy. I will miss his family, But it has been so long since I have been near my family.
There are a select few that I will miss outside of Darrins family. They know who they are...Yes, Melissa, You are one of them! I continue to say my prayers every day and I know that this is the right thing for us to do.
Gaby came home from a visit with his dad today and the first thing he said to me was " Mom, don't be mad. I told mamia (his grandmother) that we are moving, but I told her not to tell gabe." I hit the roof! I asked him not to say anything because I wanted to be the one to let his dad know. I am really hoping that Gabe wont give us any grief about moving.
Isn't it funny that one little emotional thing can bring on a flood. I am sitting here watching Extreme makeover home edition and it brought tears to my eyes, and then I just couldn't stop. I have been thinking about my Jake a lot and just wondering how he is growing up. It's hard to even think that he will be 14 years old. I still miss him as much (if not more) as I did my first day without him. I have been doing a lot of family history and it hit me....I have to do family history for gaby as well as Jake. I have no clue on how I can get information for Jake. I do have a really good friend that is a P.I. but I have very little information that I can give him so that he would be able to find Jakes dad. I don't really want to find him, It's the info I want. I couldn't care less what he has been up to or where he is.
Enough of my insane rantings. We are all doing well. Nothing major has happened here so I will say good night!

We are so excited you are coming! I have been talking to all my friends in the Relief Society about you and your family and they are all excited to meet you too. They just love it when young families move into the ward. I know things can be stressful. The best advice anyone has given me these days is just to take everything one day at a time and that seems to be working. haha.
I hope Gabe doesn't make things any harder and I hope the move won't be too traumatic for Gabby. He is at a hard age. You have plenty of time; just do a little bit everyday and relax when you need to. If you need a little coach, go to flylady.com and sign up for email remiders to help you get organized. That's exactly what I did last year getting ready to move into this house. As far as family history, at least in the church, the important part is the ordinances. So if Jake got the sealing blessings from his adoptive parents and you got them from yours, the other info probably won't matter because he probably won't be researching someday to try to get you and his bio father sealed or anything. And if he wants to do baptisms or something for his bio dad, he'll just need his name and birthdate. Hopefully you and Darrin will have your work done by the time Jake does any research and he won't have much to worry about! :)I started a new family history blog this week--it's linked at my site. Love ya! Good luck!!
Well it's about time you updated.lol I know I need to too. I will really miss you and the family but I know we will keep in touch. And I am happy for you guys too. I just know once you leave moldy cow will be my new saying and when they ask I will say my best girlfriend says that. :( Love you guys. Melissa
You have to stop being so emotional! Like thats easy right?! Seriously though, life is never easy - ever! I have been having a stessful time and not enough time in my day either. It's kind of funny you and I have to deal with moving issues at the same time. Although your move is more extreem then mine. I really don't want to leave my beautiful house and rent for a while but sometimes you have to take a step back before you can move forward. I am thrilled you are going to be so close! I just did the drive with all four kids and it took 9 hours but I made it with out crashing or letting one of the kids out on the side of the road! I think I could handle it again! Lolly, just remember that as long as you and Darrin are working at making your life as good as it can be it will always be a pleasent but hard ride! I love you!!!
Jake is more then likely doing so well and it must be a good feeling to know that he is growing up and learning new things. The boys gonna be driving before you know it! I can't believe its been 13 1/2 years. I know you miss him like crazy. No one expects you to forget. I guess maybe not no one- but I don't. I miss him just as much today as I did 13 years ago too. My heart hurts for you. You mean the world to me and I am priveledged to have you for my sister.
Jill, you big turd. You say stop being so emotional, then you make me cry...What the heck! I love you too and I will forever be greatful for the time we had to become close. Yer a rockin sister! I can't wait to see you!
I was totally sarcastic about not being so emotional! I can't ever stop from making myself cry! It wasn't my intention to make you cry but I just wanted you to know how I feel. I have been thinking a lot about Gaby lately and I get sad. I remember a day I came over to see you guys and this is a conversation I had with him : " did you bring me a treat?" "no gaby." " well you should have!" I don't know why that made me laugh at the time but he said it so serious like its my job to bring him treats! I Remember when he was napping next to me one day and he fell. " I fell off the bed and I bumped my head. Can you beweeve dis?" I laughed for days! Anyway, a little laughter with the tears- love you
I totally forgot about him fallin off the bed and saying that...K..now I'm laughing.
