The Move

The time has come to move. We take all the big stuff to our new house tomorrow. We've been moving all that we can in our car for a week and a half now and have managed to get quite a bit done. I'm trying not to panic. I feel good about our new place, but am having a hard time letting go of our old place. We have also hit some road blocks recently, which have all opened back up, but it's been a tough week.

I'm overwhelmed that we're moving to a new place and Neil is going to be doing his ambulance internship with the City of Redmond soon. He'll be staying with my dad and step-mom in Bend and not coming back as often as we thought because the fire department doesn't think that he should work during his internship as it's very intense (Plus, he's on his motorcycle and he can't drive over the pass in the winter. We have to figure out what he's going to do for transportation down there; he can't ride his motorcycle if it snows). So, now we have to figure out how the heck we're going to make money and how we're going to see each other. He'll be doing his internship through December. And it falls just as we're moving to a new place, so I feel torn whether to stay and really settle into the house - and create a stable place for the baby - or to just get the house unpacked and turn around and stay in Bend for awhile. I don't want to drive back and forth every week.

It will all get figured out, I know, but my mind wants to try to sort everything out now! I do have a tendency, though, to worry and stress about stuff just to have it all work out in the end - and I look back and realize how much energy I wasted worrying about it all. I do feel like I'm getting better about not wasting so much energy, but there is a lot to try to juggle right now and I'm growing weary.

Well, the cable won't be hooked up at our new place until next week, so I won't have Internet access. Plus, we're going to Sacramento this weekend to visit Neil's family for several days. I may try to check in then. Think good thoughts!

Love,
