Just Stuff

1. Moving - kinda done...sorta...the kitchen is what's left. Been all over Dallas this past week, and thank God my lil guy is so adaptable. We'll finish up this weekend and head to Kansas next week sometime...I think. We'll be back in TX...sometime. I love gypsy life.
2. I love hummus, but mine never turns out like the one at Central Market or Whole Foods.
3. I've gotten really behind the past 3 weeks in getting bday and thank you cards addressed and mailed. And I was doing so well. I plan to get back on track as it was one of my goals this year.
4. I am addicted. to. sugar.

Moving and Cooking

So we'll be moving by the end of the month. And in the meantime we have a couple of trips we have to make. Should be fun times. Packing is usually not fun, but I'm really looking forward to getting. Rid. Of. Stuff. I've recently gone through and thrown out a bunch of stuff, and I'm looking forward to even more purging. And when we move into wherever it is that we'll be, I'll try to get rid of even more.

This summer Nathan will be working in Kansas again. I'm gonna be staying in a place in Greenville, where my mom lives, and then in September we'll move into...who knows (in the Dallas area). At this point, Nathan is just ready to be out of here. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the area where we currently reside, but purchasing a home is about double our price range so unfortunately I'll be leaving everything I love around here. Seriously, it's a great area, and that's what's holding me back from wanting a bigger place. Who needs space, right? We have plenty of it. And I can especially say that when a Whole Foods opened up about a mile away. Or something like that. I mention Whole Foods often because I just love it. *sigh* So here's to whatever is coming. Anyway, since Nathan will be working in Kansas, Xander and I will be back and forth from here to there. We plan to spend a couple of weeks there at a time. We'll only get to see Nathan on the weekends, but it's better than nothing. At first I thought we'd drive up every other weekend or so, but making that long drive just for a weekend is just senseless. I have a feeling we'll practically be living there by the time it's all said and done. We'll see.

So I was playing around with my camera and my boy.


On my back as I cook.


And no, I wasn't burning anything (this time). It's boiling water. Xander's face is classic. He looks pretty unhappy, but he actually really likes being with me in the kitchen.

Back to the Motherland

To update on my mom - she's doing much better than last week. She's been eating pretty well and has since gained more and more strength every day. She looks good.

Her appointment with the surgeon today went very well. As soon as she feels strong enough, he's released her to return to Greenville for her job. I know she's not ready yet, so we'll wait a week or two still.

Nathan & I will be relocating to Dallas within the next month, and we'll only be about a 40 minute drive from my mom. So much happening.
