Moving = Chaos

This would be me in the morning before I am all put together. (Scary I know)

Okay so I know this is not the most attractive picture ever to look at but this is the best way I could describe with a picture how moving makes me feel, like a complete and total WRECK! I can see the finish line, it feels like it is all in arms reach but not yet quite there.

I want to thank all that have helped me (you know who you are), THANK YOU!
I could not have done this without the help of all my wonderful friends and the sisters in RS willing to serve my family. The one person that I want to thank publicly is my amazing husband, he goes to work, comes home and helps me pack, makes time to play with Caleb, and at 11:30 at night he goes to Wal-Mart to collect boxes for packing. He has yet to complain and I am so grateful for his love and support and all he does for our family!

Best of luck to all of you in your endeavors. I have enjoyed living in Iowa City and getting to know all you wonderful ladies!

So Little Time

It is final, Ricky got offered a job in Topeka, Kansas! We are so excited to be moving on to this new chapter of our lives. There is so much that I wish we could still do just one more time in Iowa but Ricky starts on the 25th of May. We will be moving on the 21st.... 2 weeks away. I know that I am not the first person to move in so little of notice and to be pregnant also but I can't help but feel scatterbrained.

I have so much going through this head of mine, my emotions are all over the place, I am excited, happy, nervous, and scared all at the same time and I have a hard time sleeping at night and then when I do get up I feel exhausted and I haven't even done anything. Things are starting to fall into place, I think I found a good OB in Topeka and we are going on Monday and Tuesday to find a place to live! If anybody has advice I am all for it.

I am going to miss all of my friends and family. We will of course be back to visit . The one thing that I find comforting is the foundation of the gospel. No matter where you go the church is true and it will always be your family away from home. Kansas here we come!

Caleb and I were gone for some of April visiting family in Idaho so here are some pictures of the trip and then some of what we have been up to these past few weeks. Picture overload but they are all so good. Enjoy!
