Capital S

Moving is stressful.

I would think that on a scale of easy moves to hard moves, ours would be rated as a relatively easy move. For instance, we own our home so we don't actually have to move EVERYTHING out of the house, we don't have to move big appliances, we only have a 2.5 hour drive to Rogers, and we have lined up two strong young kiddos (Justin and Lauren) to help us get it all done.

But it still sucks.

It really is hard to pack up all the little things. Where do I put them? What do I put them in? How do I make sure my prized possessions don't break? Blah.

And what's worse is the War of the Move. This is when the husband doesn't understand why the wife wants to bring all her Christmas decorations despite the fact that it would take up the entire walk-in-closet and Christmas is 9 months away.

And this War extends to other things too- like decorative tables, pictures, books, and kitchen stuff.

We are learning to compromise, though. I'm stressed. MC is stressed. But come Thursday evening when we are sweaty, exhausted, and craving a margarita from Chili's but can't get one because we spent all our money on rent, pet deposits, utility deposits, and gas- we will feel a sense of accomplishment. Because we are here. This is the time of our lives we have been working toward. That which is Success. Yes, with a capital S. :)
Thank you to everyone who is helping us get through these first few months. We so very much appreciate it.

I like this picture. Mmmmm Spring is coming.
