How Bizarre!

Life has been quite bizarre these days! Jordan was home for four days before driving a loaded car the 18+ hours to Abilene Tx this past Tuesday with hopes of finding our new 'home' and starting his new job before I fly down with Adelaide. To complicate things, I have a trip to DC I'm taking next week to visit my sister and her family and we've been making and breaking plans in regards to how to inexpensively move all of our stuff down there...

So at this moment, I'm left to pack everything and work out the kinks on this end while my sweet husband works out the details on his end. My dad offered to drive a truck and tow our car in a week and a half, so all our stuff is being moved without either of us, but we are SO grateful once again for his willingness to help.

I'm trying to enjoy my last few days here in Utah being near family, especially my parents because I'm gonna miss them like CRAZY!

I'll end with few of my thoughts during my insomnia filled nights:

*Adelaide will have lived in 3 states before her first birthday.
*She will have visited 9 states all together.
*This is my 10th time moving in 5 years...I'm getting pretty good at it!

First Times

This past weekend was all about first times:

Adelaide got to massage Lito's head for the first time.

I got to try out cloth diapers for the first time. (Adelaide seems to enjoy them so far!)

Adelaide did an amazing job of feeding herself for the first time.
Then she had a blast in the big bathtub for the first time.

And I was left with Adelaide all weekend while Jordan went to Texas, which was a first for us. This leads me to a huge update on our lives:

Within a few weeks, we'll be moving to Abilene TX where Jordan interviewed and received a job offer from a company where his brother works. He'll be working as a direct care staff (mentor/counselor) for a boys home. We've already found a very affordable place to live there and we're getting excited about this new season in our lives. It's definitely a blessing from God and an answer to a longwinded prayer.

This verse has been on my mind lately, from Psalm 121, and it's as true now as it was in the Old Testament:

the LORD will watch over your coming and going

both now and forevermore...

After spending the whole day

researching cloth diapers, trying to find ones that will last for years (& kiddos) to come and trying to find the best value for my money, I just ordered these FuzziBunz:


I'm ready to keep the poop contained and start saving money! I will let you know what I think, cheers!
