Yet again I have found myself packing. Perhaps I haven't mentioned we are moving again? We came across a great deal on a foreclosure and the company decided to buy it. So we will move into it, Jordan and Kayla into our current house and then in a year (give or take) we shall pass it on and perhaps be back on the hill if we can get around to it.
Jake will be home tomorrow night and then Saturday will be spent moving the big stuff which keeps accumulating. I'll move the little stuff over the Christmas break. Jake and Jeff are taking a load to Baltimore on Monday which means their chances are small for getting home for Christmas. Surprisingly I am not shocked or disappointed buy this. I haven't particularly felt the holiday spirit and am fine to postpone the whole thing until Jake gets home again. Obviously I did not discuss this with my kids but I think they will understand ...
Truly, I am so pleased that these men have been able to find loads as often and quickly as they have. I partake in the blessings that come from obedience -- perhaps not my own but that of those marvelous men working so diligently. I appreciate the sacrifice ... leaving your family knowing you have no idea when you'll be home again. Evann cries herself to sleep some nights asking when daddy will be home. "But I want him! I want Daddy." It's hard on everyone. But I am thankful for the work and their dedication. Roll on Daddy ...
On another note, 27 weeks pregnant. We know with some certainty that we have a boy brewing. Yeah, and you thought I had plenty of boys. I thought that too until I heard it was and then I quickly justified why I wanted a boy. Evann is our girlie. She wouldn't be Evann anymore if there was another girlie in the house. Besides, she'd be too old for them to be friends--when they would really need it. I'm very happy with another boy. We've thrown around Aaron Kelly but are not set yet. I will admit this is the longest it's taken us to find a name. Normally it is figured out before I even get pregnant or at least within the first month of knowing.
Well, I guess that's all I got. I hope all your merry souls have a wonderful holiday. Looking forward to seeing KaRa ...Be safe. Love you.
