and married to a full-time seminary student on the brink of graduation (& working, preparing for a new job, moving, etc.) when your only break from your son for the week is your annual exam at the "woman doctor". Isn't that how every woman wants to spend the 1 hour of true freedom that she has had/will have for weeks?!?
I should also mention that this adorable child of mine has decided naps are for wimps and "sleeping through the night" actually means waking up at 2:30 am, 3:30 am, 4:45 am, and 6:00 am. I believe he is upset that we're moving away from his friends, therefore attempting to thwart our efforts by making us too exhausted to move. Since we're moving back to the South, I'll just say "Bless his heart".
On the whole moving note. It finally hit me today that we are actually moving in 2.5 weeks. On the drive home from aforementioned doctor's appointment, I started crying. I thought I would only use this blog for fun pictures, never to vent my emotions, yet no matter how hard I fight it, I am a member of this "internet generation" and am therefore emoting online. I am thrilled about Raleigh and know the Lord has amazing things in store for us there, yet I am really sad as well. Today it is for some silly & not so silly reasons - I love my OB/GYN; I love our pediatrician; I love our church; I love my hair stylist; of course I love our friends and the fact that I can just walk to most of their apartments; I love being able to walk Bella in the neighborhood in my PJ's and nobody cares; I love that I can talk rap music with some of our college guys and nobody thinks it is weird; I love that I know exactly which aisles to go down at my grocery store for the things I need.
Praise the Lord for being able to miss these things and more. Praise the Lord that Christmas is coming soon and there will be the hands of grandparents, aunts, and uncles who want to hold my child. Maybe I'll even get to go on a run by myself, without the dog and the stroller...I'm not even sure if I would know how to do that...

SAD! It will be great, but its always hard to say good bye! Who will wake up with me at 5:00 in below freezing weather? I am sure no one!
I'll take him!!! I'll even take him with the two doggies and you can have some REAL alone time- honestly- let's plan a day and you and andy can go have a full DAY date!
amy, i love emotions, being honest and real with yourself. I think crying is so refreshing. I just feel so free after a good cry--is this weird?!;0) Anyways, we are gonna miss you guys so much. I am in denial...
Before we came to Italy, we were in Raleigh and LOVED it!! It is a very family-orientated town and the people are so nice. I have great friends there with young babies, too and I'd be happy to introduce you! Karl and I loved it so much, we're hoping to go back there after our tour here. Good luck with everything and let me know if you need anything!
I can TOTALLY relate to what you're feeling. Will's done in May and although I'm excited about our next step, leaving here will be sooo difficult. Praying for you!
Amy, we'll be praying for your move and transition from seminary into ministry. It really is great, even though it's hard to leave your friends behind. We're excited for you guys!!!
