I haven't written in months and months and now it's been so long that I feel like I have to write something fabulous and post wonderful pics to make up for my ridiculous absence.
It's not going to happen, though (partly because the computer with all the photos is in the shop for a while) so I'm just going to bite the bullet and post a few sentences, sans-photos, sans-humor. It's faster that way and maybe I'll get back in the saddle without all the pressure of posting something grand. Maybe???
So, if anyone is tuning in... you might wonder what's up with us...here's what's been going on:
- All chaos, all the time
- Jackson's 3rd birthday was 2 weeks ago!!!
- Lucy's birthday is this Saturday!!! Can't believe it!
- I'm more than a little depressed to say goodbye to the baby days. I'll shake it eventually, but it's been a rough few weeks, emotionally.
- Jonah's 5th birthday is in two weeks!!
- (yep, in case you weren't already aware, we have birthdays every-other-week in nov/early dec)
- Brad has been crazy busy on the interview trail, but he's finally done
- Match Day is December 8 and we'll find out then if/where he'll complete a fellowship year (starting in July)
- I know I'll sound like a stupid whiner for saying this, but Brad has been working, traveling, or on call for the better part of 2 months and we're ready for a break.
- We are excited to move on, but are already sad to leave our friends here in central PA
- We are fairly self-absorbed (as usual) and really excited/worried/confused about where to pursue a "real" job and start our (hopeful) permanent life. What pressure!! We would LOVE some advice!!! Where would you go if you could pick anywhere in the USA? (Not that we can take our pick, but we have to start somewhere, so why not shoot for the stars??)
That's it in a nutshell! The kids are all amazing: Jonah is intense and funny and smart, Jackson is a sweetie pie and the class clown, and Lucy is chubby and laughy and adorable and sweet. Love them!!!!
Okay... now the pressure's off... I can post when I want and whatever I want because it hasn't been 8 months, right?
Hope everyone is doing GREAT!!!!!
Thanks for tuning in...
