It's really happening!

Autumn and I made it to GreatFalls with the regular stress of travel. It is only a two hour flight but as all who fly know that means 2 hours of waiting and with a mobile 1 year old it can get a bit nerve racking. Autumn does great, it is me that runs out of patience when we wait to board and then finally to take off. We sat in a hot plane with no air and I pushed the limits playing outside in the heat before we boarded. Poor baby girl was tired, hot and hungry with no where to run and play. I text the family the details and said "start praying!" I was at my end. It worked because before the flight attendants finished the bev. run Autumn was sound asleep in my arms. She usually takes a wee nap on the plane but this time she slept through the whole flight and I even had to wake her after we landed! I hope I didn't knock anyone down while I was running off the plane. I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes because I was just ready to be done.I put Autumn down when we were about 20 feet from Lala and she did her best run with arms up telling all about our morning until she got to Lala's open arms.
It has been a very successful trip! Mom, A and I drove to Lewistown on Friday and met the B.Goodans right away to start looking at homes. It was almost like the 3 little bears story..."This one is too small, this one needs too much work, and this one is just right!" Long story short we found a house! Actually Mamma Jo found the house,shared it with the Meis family then A. and I did the walk through and heard all the possibilities. It is going to be a great house. Thankfully Papa Bob handled all the business side of it and by the beginning of the evening I was calling Dana to say "We have a house."
It has been a whirlwind of emotions this week. Is it the pregnancy or am I always like this. I think a little, well maybe a lot of both. I'm so excited to get out of Arizona and so grateful for this opportunity but the other side says "look at all this work." I think this is exactly what we have been looking for and praying for. We now will be close to our families, raising our kids in a small community and have Montana as our back yard. We have both been away from small town life for a while and have missed it. Sometimes things just seem too good to be true. And sometimes it really is okay to admit to doubt, just don't buy into it...Jes?
Now the baby is up and it is time to start our day. Love to my family and I miss you husband...see you tomorrow!
