It's that time.

Yes, it's finally that time. Time for the movers to spend the next two days packing up our stuff so it can be loaded onto a truck on friday and make its way to California. Hard to believe its already time to move again. It really feels like we just got here and now we are heading out again. This is probably one of the more boring days because all you can really do is sit around while they pack. I hate to leave Colorado but I am so ready to get to where we are going and get settled. It won't be too much longer that we have a brand new family member!

Friday Blog Hop!

I LOVE blog hops! I always find awesome blogs to read and follow and I'm always excited to gain a few new readers and followers in the process. What do you love most about blog hops?

Blogging from your phone?

Who knew you could write a blog entry from your phone? I didn't! But here i am typing away. Man this blogger app is going to make our two day drive to California so much more interesting!

Preparing to Move

Just two weeks left! I can’t believe how much we’ve done and how much there is to do.

The house is starting to look pretty messy at the moment. Stuff for the new baby is sitting in the corner (yay for craigslist deals!), the walls are bare and everything looks pretty disorganized at the moment.

We’re taking down pictures, cleaning walls, baseboards, cleaning out closets and doing all the fun stuff you do before the movers come.

I’m not ready to leave…..but I know things will be great. Just need to get there and get settled because I am in MAJOR nesting mode. Of course I can't do anything until we get to California, get into the new house and start making that home. So much to do!

Wordless Wednesday

Okay, maybe not so wordless..........

Check that off the list.

So today the movers came and did our pre-moving inspection where they come and see how many boxes to bring and survey how much big furniture they have to move. Everything for this move seems to happening so fast and its only 5 weeks away! Tell time to slow down a bit please. I love it here in Colorado so much I want to be able to really enjoy the last little bit of time we have here before we head to California.

Next on the list……anatomy ultrasound TOMORROW! I’m so ready to find out the sex of this baby I could just burst. I’ll be sure to update about that tomorrow.

Birthday Surprises!!

Wow! This weekend shaped up to be one of the busiest most impromptu weekends I’ve had in ages!

My mom turned 50 this Sunday and my brother and I had spent weeks trying to figure out the best possible gift to give our mom for this birthday because we wanted to make it really good. Mom has been under a lot of stress recently. She works a stressful job with long hours and my grandmother, who has been deteriorating mentally, recently got into a car accident. While she is physically fine her car it totaled and she doesn’t know how to handle not having a car.

So Friday afternoon my brother and I were joking about how awesome it would be if I could just be there for her birthday and how we could put me in a big box on mom’s porch and I’d jump out and surprise her. That’s when my practical thinking sister in law says, “Well, why can’t you?” First thing Saturday morning I was on a plane to Texas!

We did actually put me on the porch in a box, I popped out and my mom cried she was so surprised. We went and got a ton of decorations and decorated her apartment, got her a cake, took her out to dinner and played board games. It was so much fun but the trip was just too short! I was back home by Monday morning (thanks to my awesome brother and sister in law for driving me to the airport at 4am!) and was doing makeup for two different photo shoots at 12pm and 4pm.

I’m so tired from the trip that I think it’s going to take me a while to get back my energy! Now off to clean this house and make some cupcakes for my wonderful family!
