WE MOVED!

It has been forever since I wrote on our blog and so much has happened in our lives. A few weeks ago, my job asked me to work full time (well actually they told me that I had to work full time or that they'd find someone else) and I was heart broken. I love my time with Olivia, but I also have a husband who is trying to get through law school and our family has to eat so I now have to put in my forty hours a week, blah. We got our schedule all worked out though and everything seems to be going great so far. To get our schedule to work though, we had to pack up our life in downtown Seattle and move north to Everett. Myles' mom was a life saver and agreed to watch Olivia everyday so we moved close to his parents to make that arrangement possible. Olivia loves her time with her "Bojanney" and I think her "Bojanney" loves the time too...well I hope so.
Luckily my parents and my sister Eryn were here the weekend that we moved. They helped us out so much and we couldn't have done it without them, plus it was just really fun to have them around. Myles' parents also worked their booties off trying to get our new place all fixed up. Myles' Dad actually owns the home we moved into (we live in the main level of it)and he was sweet enough to want it to look great for us, so they really did work hard to get it all spruced up and it looks great! (I'll post pictures of the new place soon)
We are starting to get used to the new place and it feels more like home everyday. We are really blessed in our lives and this move has really made us realize that things work out for the best and that our families are the greatest people in the world and will do anything to help us out. We love you guys!


Myles giving me one last kiss in our old place.

Pausing for a quick photo before we left.


We barely fit all of our stuff in this U-haul.
We were amazed at how much we had crammed
into a 500 square foot apartment.
I thought I would add some shots of the old apt.
before we packed everything up. We loved our
orange walls!

It was our first "long term" apt. and we loved it!
Our "master" bedroom. It was huge...not really!

Olivia's cute little nook. She didn't even have a door
door to her "room," but it was still a great little place!
Mom watched the babies and cleaned while the rest of us packed up. What a trooper, especially since Olivia was freaking out about the whole moving process. She was so worried we were taking her things away and she wasn't going to get them back. She'd look in the cupboards in the kitchen and when she saw that they were bare she would just start bawling. It was so sad, but so cute at the same time.

I hate moving! I am glad things are working out for you guys. I LOVE Seattle. I have family in Marysville so we spent some time in Everette (however you spell it)too. I kind of miss washington
