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 :)

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!

ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon! In the meantime, I'm doing this ABC bit that I stole from my cousin 's blog! Also, no -- I did not get switched to days. Trust me, I would've told the entire world and screamed it from roof-tops if I did. A. Age: 22, but that will change on Sunday. B. Bed size: King C. Chore you dislike: Cleaning the shower - especially dealing with hard-water stains. Lime away=ouch D. Dogs: Really really really really really dislike. Really dislike. Sorry.

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...

Let's try this again...

Last year we purchased soil, mulch, and all these plants that grow great in well-watered, rich-soiled areas. Then we went away for a weekend, and everything dried up like a prune. I was a bit disappointmented, as gardening is a hobby & passion of mine. In fact, I became quite frustrated with our hot climate. But we did some research on desert plants, and I found a new love! Desert plants are quite fascinating, actually. Their tough outer skin & small leaves result in maximum absorbtion of our spare water -- allowing them to thrive on little. They are also extremely regenerative. You can cut a branch or an arm off a cactus, and plant it in the ground somewhere else to create a new plant. So we found a very local cactus nursery last weekend, and got to work! Here are a few of the gems we planted. (These are pictures I've found offline, as I haven't taken proper pictures of our front yard yet due to the immaturity of our plants at this point) The Desert Barrel ...
