So everything has been moving in fast forward lately. Work has been so busy that I barely have time to sit down and enjoy my family and friends. I am so happy that this busy time only lasts from Oct to Feb. Cade is loving 1st grade and his teacher thinks he is a sweet heart and is very smart. He has lost his 2 bottom teeth and is growing so big. Reise is just like her mom and it is showing in her school life. We had parent teacher conference and the teacher said that Reise talks a lot and is really social... Great! My mom was right. She is so big I cant believe that she is actually almost 2 years younger then Cade. Everyone thinks that they are twins and are amazed when they hear that Reise is younger. I feel so blessed that I have such amazing kids, even though they make me crazy some of the time I still love every minute I have with them.
Jeff is still in school and has finales over the next couple of weeks. I am so proud of him, he has made a goal of getting his bachelors and has done everything he can to get his goal closer to being achieved. He will have his associate degree in a couple of weeks and has done this in less time then it usually takes. I feel bad though because he doesn't always have enough time to study and do his homework with my work schedule. He is such an amazing husband and I don't think I tell him this enough.
Well my parents have put there house up for sale and they have found a house to rent in Seattle. I am really trying to help them and not show how much it is killing me inside. I have lived away from my parents a longtime but have always had the luxury of seeing them whenever I wanted. When I lived in Nebraska I had such a hard time not being able to see my parents and never wanted to have to experience that again. I am not as strong as my sisters are. I know that this is something that they need to do and I want to be supportive so I try to not show my sadness when I am around them. I told my kids about it and I know my parents feel like my kids would be fine if they did move but my kids really are having a hard time with it. I think that they feel happy with the fact that they can go see them anytime. I know I know I should just deal with it and make sure to visit them a lot but I am the type of person who removes myself so I do not have to show my emotions. I did this when my sisters were all in town also because I feel that I get so incredibly sad and depressed when they leave so I try to hangout but not to much so I don't feel so sad and depressed. I don't think anyone in my family knows this so it comes across as being mean and not wanting to spend time with them. I do love them all and love spending time with them. I wish I wouldn't be like this but I do feel it has gotten worse as the years have passed. Hopefully I will be able to get over this annoying behavior.
Well I need to go spend some time with my husband and kids before Monday comes which seems to come way to quickly. I love you all!
