A few changes....

Wow. Where do I begin... It's  been a rollercoaster of a few weeks.

Ryan is supposed to be coming home tomorrow. He's been home for a week. (Yay!!!)

Let me tell you about last week. We went from thinking we were going to be spending 6 months in Fargo ND near family, then it was going to be Nashville, TN, then it was going to be Syracuse, NY, then it was back to Fargo.

The funny thing about this life is it warps your brain to not even care where you're going -- you just want to know.

But the amazing news is....we are going to Fargo, ND on April 7!!!

We still don't know what kind of living situation we will have. That is changing on a hourly basis. Literally every day Ryan comes home with new "news".

I don't care. I'll live in a box. Well, my company won't approve of that. But you get the point ;)

As thrilled as I want to be - it's hard for me to take the excitement seriously. It changes so much that I almost am starting to feel like I'm standing on the outside looking in with everything going on! But once it's all in writing, and we have a lease signed - I think I'll start believing the excitement a little better.

Words cannot describe how excited I am to be closer to family. I miss them so much. I also get to be home during my sister's wedding festivities! So timing just could not be more perfect!

We will supposedly (lol) be living in Fargo, ND from April until late-September! Perfect time of year to get out of Tucson ( I hate our summers) and spend some quality time at the lakes.

I already know our time is going to fly....and it is probably going to be difficult to leave. But I'm going to do my absolute best to not focus on that. Goal is to focus on enjoying every single day I get there. People don't realize how many days I've spend in AZ pining to be near family. Well, here is my big chance! I cannot wait....

On to the next adventure! ;)

I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU'LL BE HOME THIS SUMMER!!! I am so relieved that this came together. But I can also understand just wanting to know where you will be going, wherever that is. Because not knowing is worse than anything in my opinion! I hope you get the details sorted out soon so you can shift to really getting excited about it! It's going to be amazing to have you guys so close this summer. You'll have to make a trip to Minneapolis one weekend as you haven't really had a chance to spend time here since you spend time with family when you are home (understandably so!!!). You can stay with us since we have a guest room :)

So so so exciting!!! Yay!! Fingers crossed everything works out as you guys want it to :) Can't even imagine how nerve wracking the not knowing would be!

In just a little over one week you will be in ND! Can I find words to describe how happy this makes your Dad & I and the rest of the family? And the time of year is perfect, too, although we are having a late spring, so maybe you will bring the warmth with you!

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

St. Anthony, Where are you??!!??

So. Let's talk about my day so far. And why I suck at being organized. Do any of you know these people who always have it together? They never lose ANYTHING. They have a spare set of every important document, item possible. Every document has a file, every item has a place, every place has a label. They are always collected, have every duck is in the row. They live in perfection. This description is my husband: Ryan. My second question: Do you know anyone who's life is an absolute train wreck? They are always running in circles. They cannot be responsible for an important item if their life depended on it, because the strangest things happen to them. They never seem to be at the right place, or never seem to be on time. They cell phone often ends up in the refrigerator. There is always a giant debacle occurring. This description is me: Abby. Well this morning two people of this nature got to mingle a little. Well, they happen to be husband and wife--so they have to mingle withi...
