For the last 6 months, Tim has been working 2 or 3 days a week. It's enough to keep our benefits (THANK GOODNESS considering I had a baby during this time) but also enough to make us (more me) go crazy stressed. We have had D-land passes for the past year and would go when Tim had to go to Irvine for work. This way, we tagged along on a work trip to minimize the expenses. Last week Tim only worked 2 days. So Tuesday afternoon, we decided we needed one more Disneyland Trip. We left that evening, pricelined a hotel for $35, and went to Disneyland Wednesday and Thursday. You know you have taken your kids to Disneyland too much when 1) you only take one picture the ENTIRE trip (this Goofy one was from when we went in October...the one of Minnie below is from this trip) 2) your kids have opinions and where they want to go and what they want to ride 3) your 3 year old doesn't ride ONE ride the entire day...and is totally fine 4) you recognize the "day workers". It's been 15 days in the last year or so. I think we've had our fill for a while.
So Tim finally got a job in Memphis, TN! He is transfering within his company there but will be doing some of the same work and some different work too. Also, we sold our house and close in a couple of days. I cannot believe it is all lining up with each other. Tim and I and Ivy will go out there in a week or so and find a house to rent and then as soon as we can get all of the logistics taken care of, we are moving. We've wanted to move away for a long time, which we understand is probably not the desire of most people. So we are giving it a shot.
We told Anderson we were moving to Tennessee and he said, "Do they have a playground there?" He will miss his cousins but will be able to make some new friends too. Little Minnie (who rushed into Terrible Twos the day she turned 2) said, "no, my Tennessee". Typical 2 year old. She finally let me put pig tails in and they lasted a good 20 minutes. I guess she likes having a clown wig in her face all day long.
We are excited and a little nervous, but looking forward to change and the new things to come!
