New life new blog!

Last night was (like the last few) restless. With my mind racing of all that is going on...move to montana, baby Autumn (sleeping peacefully in the next room), baby 2 on the way, Dana snoring, Lockdown/Indiana on the boob tube (that I forgot to shut off), Gemini in and out of the dog door, and my constant ( I mean constant!) desire for huge helpings of food! I wandered in the dark a bit thinking of everything I could be doing while the family sleeps, or what I could pack once they wake up. I ended up looking at my hypnosis "homework" that I still have not done, sipping coffee that I should have given up already and found myself checking out my facebook. An episode of Criminal Minds made fun of facebook, "do people think that other people actually care...'haven't had my coffee ggrrrr' who really reads this stuff". I DO!!! I'm addicting to checking out posts and pictures, even if I don't look at every single one I want new ones when I log on and get bummed when people pick up their lives and don't update me (it's all about me). I also have a nasty habit of analyzing some. I think some of them are way way to personal or just a flat out lie. I tell my husband, "that is NOT what so and so said to me! why post if you are going to lie?!" He looks at me like "you are taking this way to serious". Then I get back to reality and realize who does actually care. It feels good to write it down, get it out and walk away. At least it does to me. :) After all it still is all about me!;)
Actually, I am starting this new blog so that I can keep you, my family and friends more updated then a two line post of how things are going in our household. I have slowed down on letters to the dear Yaya's and family so thought I would just attack the whole enchilada with a blog! In fact it really is not all about me, I am just the author. Autumn lets us both know, probably the dogs too that it is really all about her! Every teeny tiny thing we do is for/about Autumn. Soon it will be about Autumn and her baby brother or sister but for now all our decisions focus on what is best for her. She is what put moving out of Arizona on top of the list and thank God for that!!! My complaining (almost everyday...sorry hubbie) was not enough, but the heat, education,and just environment as a whole and especially the distance from our families have made the choice easier.
About a month ago a job in Eugene Or. was maybe, possibly, looks pretty good so far, almost, available for Dana. We started looking up the town, getting excited to move near the ocean, mountains, Portland etc. We started thinking about what it would take to get there and settle there. Then (total God thing) it was time for Autumn and I to fly to Montana and get ready for her one year birthday. Dana and our friend and Autumns God Mother would meet us there a week later. When I drove into Lewistown, I felt like I was home. I was interested to see if Dana felt the same. He did and here we go.
Most of you know this already. But I added it anyway maybe because I had the time and didn't know where to start. Now I hear Autumn waking up and ready for her day to start so I shall end my first post of Thats a Goodan!
I promise the next ones will not be so long and uninteresting...I want them to focus more on Autumn and our daily lives learning from her:) Our journey keeps getting better! Enjoy the ride!
