We escaped the chaos of packing and moving for a long weekend this past one, and went to visit my sisters a couple hours away in Des Moines. My Mississippi family came to visit, and it was wonderful to have everyone together again. It hasn't happened since last April, almost a full year ago, so we were overdue! We stayed busy eating (always lots of eating with us, it seems), chasing after all the babes, and whatnot. My sister did a maternity session for us before we took off, and I'm so thankful! It was earlier in the pregnancy than we'd usually do them, so my belly is smaller, but we leave next week and didn't want to miss the opportunity to have her do them.
Now it's back to reality. And reality is, our house is in shambles and we have only 4 days until every belonging is to be packed and loaded onto a pod/shipped. Enter PANIC. I'm confident we will get it all done in time, but sometimes I think how nice it would be if we weren't such last-minute people! I'm starting to feel some anxieties about leaving and starting the whole settling process all over again, but it comes with a fair bit of excitement too. I'm anxious for things to be all set up at the new place, and just trying to remind myself of how much time that really takes.
Prepare for photo overload below!
