Crazy Lady Eye-Twitch

I think I need a vacation!

For the last entire week I have been getting an on-going eye twitch, lasting all day, every day, every couple minutes. I am beginning to think I am going crazy! I'm doing my best to try and have a low-key attitude, go to sleep early and not stress but I don't think it is working.

In case I go totally mad, consider yourselves warned...

Wearing Thin

The last two weeks have been pure insanity! We left our apartment in LA, completely cleaned and painted, and I took the two little guys with me to Las Vegas. We stayed overnight then took off at lunchtime to Cedar City for three days of family time, hikes, and a little bit of Shakespeare.


The cabin was fun but perhaps a little too rustic to help us catch up on needed sleep. We sought solitude in, well, Solitude (right by Brighton, UT). Our hotel was great and the boys loved meeting my cousins, second cousins, and their kids.Then after three days there we headed out to Vegas again, with a stop at church with my grandparents in Provo.
Our Vegas trip was one more quick day, and we had fun swimming and eating at Cafe Rio on our way out to Phoenix. We've been enjoying being able to unpack and feel a bit more settled here. It is pretty hot though!

Time Flies!

When we moved to LA two years ago our family looked like that...

And now our family looks like this...

I feel like we came with two babies (1 month, and 21 months) and are leaving with little boys (2 and 3.5)! We have grown so much here and are definitely going to miss it and all the good memories we made here.

On We Go

Looks like its our time to be moving on as well.

Jared has landed some work for a consulting company who will be flying him to Portland part time for a few weeks, and we've decided to move out to save some money. I will be traveling around with the little guys visiting family while he works and having a fun summer.

Its hard to say where we will be moving next, but he has a few more permanent leads around, like Huntington Beach, Glendora, San Diego, Phoenix, to name a few.

I have been feeling all kinds of emotions once we made the choice to move out.

Things I will NOT miss

1. Easily, the traffic is #1!! It takes me 4o min to get to the boy's pediatrician 7 miles away.

2. Prices of everything are so much more, especially rent.

3. People being everywhere I go all the time. Totally making me claustrophobic. It makes it all dirtier and drives me insane during flu season.

4. Living with the freeway in our backyard. The air is nasty!

5. Inconveniences: lack of parking, living on the 3rd floor (no elevators, mind you), waiting in long lines everywhere, etc.

Things I will miss

1. The amazing people we have met here, and living so close to many of them!

2. The incredible weather all.year.long. Seriously bumming about this one guys.

3. Being miles from the beach. I love nothing more than waking up to the sea fog in the mornings, driving up the hill and seeing the coast below. Amazing.

4. The excitement of the city. There is always something to do.

5. Only our favorite place in the whole world.... Disneyland!!!
