we tried really hard

Our night being almost over, here we sit in our pajamas taking a couple of
 self portraits to commemorate this special day.

I look really tired (which I am) and trevor has a cold sore on his lip. 
But we tried.
And it's been a good day. 
Not as good as it could have been.
(What??? Sarah not being positive??? Unheard of...kidding) 
The moving-depression has started for me. 
I'm no longer busy packing and unpacking and
 I'm without some of the people I love most.
From experience, it should last about a month or so. 
I usually try to hide it but I'm tired of doing that also. 
So here I am being all candid and such and now you know 
that for the next month, I will put on a happy face 
when I walk out my front door 
but mope around and be lame inside the protection of my home.
But what is so lovely is that I have these 5 wonderful people here 
who love me anyway. 
And when Trevor comes home at night, even if it's late,
everything is better.

First of all, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! (You two are such adorable love birds! -Seriously, I was just telling Scott how much I admire the relationship y'all have.)

Second... I am SO READY TO MOVE AWAY(!!!), and yet, Scott asked me "Will you still cry when we move?"
I told him "Of course I will! -This is my home, my familiar surroundings, my memories, where my family and friends are... BUT, I will get over it after a month or two." SO, Sarah, I am sending you warm thoughts, and *HUGS* from across the nation. I think it's perfectly normal to feel sad... Change is sometimes hard to accept, at first. However, in most cases, it eventually becomes an exciting adventure! ;o)

That's normal (I do think moves are harder for women that men). It's always tough to leave a little bit of your heart behind; but leaving that part of it behind doesn't make your heart smaller it only stretches it.

I go through that depression too! The stress of the move and the change of routine in a different environment really sinks me for a bit. I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes through this but I do EVERY TIME!Love your guts sarah!

Happy Anniversary to you two! 11 years...wow!
Hang in there, Sarah. Moving is hard, as you already know, but it usually gets better, as you also know. Love you guys.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
