Cock a Doodle Doo





The baby has me up with the roosters this morning so I am going to take this opportunity to update the ol' blog. Eva never got the memo that humans shouldn't be awake before 7 am and was bright eyed and bushy tailed at O'Dark Thirty (aka 4 am) this morning.

Thomas got the official OFFICIAL offer from TSA yesterday. Nothing was officially OFFICIAL until he passed the background investigation and drug test which finally happened this week. Apparently they don't want sketchy crackheads having access to top secret files on what kinds of explosives the bad guys are thinking up these days. Imagine that. His OFFICIAL start date is May 10th. I will be a Minnesotan again on May 7th. We'll pick up the moving truck on May 1st and spend the next few days loading it up with all of our wordly belongings. On May 5th we'll close up the house that will no longer be our home, say goodbye to Colorado and east on I-80.

Thomas is SO excited to start his new career. I am filled with so much anxiety I can't sleep at night. I tend to worry about everything. It's starting to look like we won't be able to buy a home this year. I just don't think it's good timing for us financially. Which really blows because now is such a good time to actually BUY a house. And I worry about that. I worry about things that are out of my control. I mean, it's not like we're going to be homeless right? The challenge is finding a rental that meets all our needs. And really being honest with ourselves about what we need and what we want. But isn't that always a challenge in life? I have faith that it will all work itself out. I just wish my brain would shut down while I am trying to sleep.

So, enough about that. Easter was last weekend. And let me just say how much fun it is to have a 3 year old on holidays like Easter. We did an egg hunt for Declan and he was just beyond excited to hunt for all his eggs. If I ever get around to uploading the video I'll post it. I think he's still waiting for the Bunny to come back and leave more blue eggs for him. And another chocolate bunny. In fact, I would like another one too as a certain short person ate mine.

Easter is definitely awesome with a 3 year old. I am a worry wort myself, but I know for you that all of this will figure itself out. With regards to the house, you will find something that meets your needs. It's amazing how one can adapt when needed. I'm so happy for you and your family and sad to see you leaving.
