Still stressed out, but moving forward

Life is so hectic right now. While I thought things were set with Jon starting his new job on June 27, I was very wrong.

We are moving back!

Around 4pm on May 26, Jon received a phone call from his former/next boss and received a job offer. The salary wasn't quite what I was hoping for (who doesn't want more money), but it was in our acceptable range, and we are moving back to Wisconsin.

Quick Update

How did a whole month pass without a blog post when I was trying to post weekly? I don't know. Life, I suppose. A lot has been going on, and sometimes it's just too mentally taxing to thing through it.

10dpo--not what you think!

How funny that I get to use the abbreviation dpo to mean two different things. It used to be "days past ovulation" as the only meaning I know. Now it means "days post op". I guess this means I am in the process of fully accepting that we are done having kids. I really didn't come on here to write about being done with kids, but sometimes that happens. Perhaps at the end I'll get back to Jon being 10dpo.

Jon is Having Bariatric Surgery

I am currently sitting in the surgery center waiting room in Des Moines while Jon is undergoing bariatric surgery. I know that this surgery is done successfully all the time, but there is still the risk of death and I'm scared.

Toddler Open Gym

Following up from my post about things that have been going on, the city I live in is lacking in opportunities in the winter for toddlers to burn off energy.

Trip to Madison

When we lived in Wisconsin, Jon's job required a fair bit of travel. We were notified via mail that his Marriott Rewards points would expire if they went unused. So, a friend and I are taking a girls weekend trip back to Wisconsin

I miss this place, but not the emotions that come with it

I miss coming here to write. I have things going on in my life that I need an outlet for, so why am I not coming here to get the out and process them? Because dealing with the emotions that come with them is hard.

Tittle's Day Recap

Tittle's Day was harder this year, I think because it seemed to be just like a regular day. With Gus and Lucy, we get to do special things on their days, because they're here. On our angel's days, we still have regular life to deal with, and that's makes it feel like they are getting ignored.

Tittle's Day

6 years ago we learned that our third child would not be coming home. We saw on ultrasound that our Tittle's heart had stopped beating. For how many smiles his sneaky ways bring us throughout the year, this day is still hard and full of wonder. I wonder what he would look like, what his interests would be and in what ways he would surprise us.
