Returned Once Again

Salt Lake City was a success. I was able to find us a house to live in temporarily until we are able to figure out where we want to buy a house. And then if we want to go ahead and build a new house or not. I guess it all depends on what we can do after we move again. The ironic thing was that I did not find a house until Sunday. I had found one earlier in the week but I lost it because I waited until the morning to call on it. But that same company had others that we really liked and were able to get it all locked in. Yea! Now I don’t have to move our date back to pack and move stuff out. That makes me so happy. Ben and I will be back together sooner rather than later.

Now for the fun and exciting news, Missy had her baby while I was there. I was so happy to be there for her babies birth. Ariana was born April 22, 2006, so she and her mom share a birthday. What a special gift! Missy and Jory are wonderful parents and will have a great time raising their little girl. She is so cute, but so small. I forgot how small they can be when they are born. I hope the diapers I made fit baby “O.” Only time will tell. By the way, Isabelle loves the baby, so I know she will do great with our new bundle of joy.

On that subject we are still hoping that my placenta will move enough so that I do not have to have a c-section. I keep wanting my belly to get bigger because I know that will help. I think we should know the final verdict shortly after I return to SLC. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, that we will be able to have a natural birth. We were even able to find a doctor and register at the hospital while we were in SLC. The doctor is very close to where our new home will be located and the hospital is not too far off from there. We hope that everyone will be able to come for a visit.

The things that make me sad about leaving California are . . . not being able to leave with more wine. Leaving behind the best place to shop for food, Trader Joes. And of course the new friends we have all found through work, for Ben, and playgroups for me. But alas we will be able to make new friends and find new and interesting places to shop for food. Until then, we are all still happy to be leaving California. After all gas prices are already over $3 per gallon, who wants to pay that? Pictures will be forth coming, I was only able to carry one backpack with me and that happened to be the diaper bag.
