A change of plans

Have you ever been idling along in life, taking your time, enjoying the easiness of your day to day routine, when all of a sudden it's like a switch flips and craziness ensues? Routine is thrown out the window along with sanity and good manners.

Well, that's been us around here lately.  Routine out, chaos in. This has been the main reason for my absence lately.  It all started really just a few weeks ago, with an email that led to a job interview, that led to a new job, that led to a new city, that led to us putting our house up for sale, that led to the selling of said house within the week, that led right into this living room filled to the brim with moving boxes. Again.

It was a good switch that flipped for us, lighting up our lives with a new adventure and opportunity.  It's a good chaos, more or less.  Moving is never exactly fun for me, throw a two year old somewhere in to the mix and it can be a big fat challenge, but in this case it's all for the better and I am embracing it.  Even if it is all happening faster than I can keep up.

My husband got a great new career opportunity, in a great town not too far from here, that we have been aiming to move to since we were married - maybe even before.

So it's good. And hard. With a bit of bittersweet mixed in. And my ramblings are starting to sound as chaotic as our moving strategy so I am going to end here for now, with a few photos of things we've been doing while we haven't been frantically throwing random things into card board boxes and hoping for the best.

Sharing snack time with the local Kitty - not ours. We wish.

Going for hair cut number 2. I would have taken more photos but I was busy holding him down this time...

Spending a hot morning at an air conditioned mall with a play place.

Having Carousel fun!

Patio Picnics

Enjoying blueberry, spinach popsicles.

Backyard barbecues at Oma's house.

That means he wants cake.

Celebrating Nana!

What are you enjoying - chaos or routine?
