Time Please Stop!

I haven't mentioned this in any of my posts, partly because I didn't want to put it out there in cyberspace but mostly because if I don't talk about it than maybe I can pretend that it is not happening, but we ARE moving, and I am sad. The pattern is always the same, I long for a change in my life and then it comes and I cry about it for weeks and don't want anything to change. We have such great friends here and we really love it a lot here, but at the end of the school year we are moving. As the boxes build up in my living room it is becoming more and more a reality, and so with that reality has come the tears.

We had such a fun weekend. The kids didn't have school on Friday and John didn't have work, so I took the girls to see Hannah Montana with some of Hannah's good friends and their mom. John stayed home with Joshua which made it even better. Then Friday night John and Hannah went with some friends to the Diamondbacks baseball game. They had a fun daddy-daughter night.


Saturday found us at a VERY wet Easter egg hunt (at least wet by AZ standards). We went to the park thinking that it would probably be cancelled, but when we pulled up we saw about 75 people huddled under the pavilion. Of course we couldn't tell our kids that we weren't getting out so we made the run for the pavilion and stayed long enough to get a donut and collect a few eggs in the rain.




Joshua and I ended up back in the car, since he wasn't really into collecting eggs, however, he was into the donuts.


Saturday night we went out to dinner with our dear neighbors. I hope we love our neighbors in our new home as much as we love our neighbors here! So I wish I could stop time or bring all of our loved ones with us. Please come with us. I don't want to go alone.

I am so sad and I don't like thinking about it. Grace is so much fun for Chloe! We will miss you!

why did I click on this post?? your final sentence ripped my heart out. Honestly I think I have been avoiding you on purpose. I'm so selfish! I can't even think about borrowing bread for sandwiches at 7 o'clock in the morning without the tears falling.

So when is the end of school for you guys? We need to catch up. I booked BYU sports camps for the boys so we will be out there for most of Aug. Keep us posted on where you land and when! :)
