this entry is dependent on how long our Little Miss decides to stay sleeping. She has been getting up with her mother for a couple of hours bright and early (5ish), then going back to sleep around 7 and sleeping til 11. Lets see if today follows suit!
Some major changes around here: Patrick has moved to Florida, staying with a friend from up here, her 3 year old daughter, a girlfriend of the friend, and her 16 month old son. We knew he was planning a trip to go visit and scout out the area for a possible move, but he sprung on us that he had bought a one-way ticket down a couple of weeks ago, and he flew out on the 11th. He stopped in briefly on Saturday when they drove up to pick up some of his friends belongings (and her daughter) from her parents, and they then drove back. When I spoke to him on the phone on Monday night he sounded happy, excited, and up-beat. He said job hunting was starting today, and he hoped that he could find something relatively soon. It is scary, exciting, and adventurous, all rolled into one event!
Unfortunately, the room he left behind looks like a disaster area. I need to go box up everything he didn't take with him and we will be storing that in the garage (there was no room left in the trailer for his stuff after his friend got all of hers loaded up); he says they will probably be back up here in 6 months or so. He did promise to set aside money to come back with if things don't work out, so I am hoping he sticks to that plan. Ah to be young, impulsive, and invulnerable again!
Another change is that Rei is going to go to MN for most of the summer to help take care of his niece and nephew while Tony and Andrea work. The kids will be in summer school for part of the time, so his responsibility will be mid to late afternoon, and perhaps before school, depending on schedules. This will also allow him to potentially get another job, provided he can work the hours around his childcare responsibilities. Tony is giving him a vehicle and spending money in exchange for his services, and Rei is very excited about this. We will be going up to MN over part of Eric's vacation (end of July/beginning of August) so we will caravan back with Rei and bring the two kids home with us for part of the month of August. Tony and Andrea will drive down to pick them up shortly before school starts so that they have time to ready--Alexis will be starting kindergarten in the fall, and Justin will be in 2nd grade! Blows my mind that they are so big--and it highlights for me that Eric and I are coming up on our 5 year mark (July) of starting our relationship, with our 4th wedding anniversary in August.
I am going to be travelling in June with Brie and Skye to go to Florida: we are taking Skye to visit her dad's family for a week (including travel days: we will be driving). It's been awhile since I was last in Florida, and I am looking forward to it. Some of my relatives only live a couple of hours away, so perhaps I will steal the car and go visiting one day while we are down there, just to get some hugs and kisses! That will leave Eric, Aurora, and Dan here on their own for a week. Wonder what they will do with such a quiet household? Brie then will be off for her 3 weeks of Guard training, and we will have Skye full time. Wow, it's looking like a busy summer!
