Big Changes
So, many of you know that we got an offer on our house last week. We had an inspection done today, and if all goes well, Royal, Jayden, and I will be moving out to Wichita in the middle of June. This is all of course quite bittersweet. I am glad that we have a serious offer on our house, that the whole having to have it clean and picked up all the time might be over. Especially since I often times have to stick Jayden in the car and then go back in and pick up his toys, as he would usually follow me around and throw back on the floor the things I just put away. But selling the house means that I now have to deal with all the details of moving. Flying out to Wichita to buy a house out there, packing the house, figuring out how we are going to get all our stuff to Wichita, changing our address on everything (I HATE that part), etc… It also means I actually have to move to Wichita. Which it should be nice and hot by that time, and I love hot weather, but let me state again…I actually have to live in Wichita. Maybe it won’t be so bad, maybe I’ll love it! We’ll see… At least with our house selling, Royal doesn’t have to move out to Wichita and leave Jayden and I here to sell the house. We get to all go together!
In other great news, it turns out I’m pregnant and will be expecting baby #2 in November, as if you couldn’t have guessed from all the baby hats I’ve been knitting. My fam has known for awhile, but I told my dad he had to wait to tell people at least until his birthday. And as his birthday is on Thursday, I figure by Saturday morning the majority of Shelton will know about it. :) So far, this pregnancy has been as easy as Jayden’s. No morning sickness, I’m just real hungry all the time. I did make it through my week 8 crisis. With Jayden, I got a kidney stone. With this baby, I came down with a horrible sinus and chest infection and as soon as I got off those antibiotics, I got the flu. So, now hopefully things will be smooth sailing the rest of the way! Of course, I’m expecting to start downing papaya enzymes for heartburn soon…
Um Rachel, did you forget we weren’t talking about this whole moving thing. :(
I’ve been thinking of you! I’m so excited for you, and sad at the same time - like you said - bittersweet.
Yipee! I love you! Nice work Momma!
Wow! Lot’s of big new!! I’m especially happy about the “baby” part! And as bittersweet as it is to be moving, I am very excited for you and Royal. I trust God with my whole heart that He will meet your needs at every turn in your journey.
I love you Rachel~
btw… “pig” is amazing and i totally get it! my daughter-in-law and i share a torturous sense of humor.
Babies, tornados, new job, and school. Just another sweet adventure.
(Just a collection of my thoughts)Oh what excitment!!!!!!! Such a range of emotions. A new baby!! What wonderful joy. Moving - sad and exciting. A new adventure. And life goes on. God is good.
I love you guys and will miss you so much. Love, BOGAN (Big Old Great Aunt Nancy) aka Marshmellow
