So I am relishing every second on my iPad right now because I haven't had wifi in over a month. Man if that isn't a sign of the times; I feel totally out of sorts without wifi, crazy :)
So we've been in California for a month and 2 days now, I feel like I've been counting the days because my cosmetology license hadn't come yet, but then today . . . duhndaduhda!! I have it!!!! After 5 phone calls, 30 minutes on the phone, a drive to Anaheim, and one bad picture later, I have my license in my possession! It feels like now life can start. I feel like I've been on a month long vacation, (albeit a broke vacation ;) ) Tomorrow is salon hunting day. Wish me luck with finding a good salon to start my California hair career. It's exciting to make a new start like this. Can't wait!
Our bug has grown so much this past month! He is officially a crawler, a slow one, but nonetheless, a crawler. He has 2 teeth now and man are they sharp! It feels like he is already a whole different baby then the one we moved here with. He's survived his first rolling off the bed, (scared the crap out of me and made me feel like a horrible mom, but everyone has assured me that it happened to all of their kids too,it actually brought about a ton if terrifying tales of kids heads hitting ceiling fans, kids breaking their arm rolling off the bed, babies choking on bottles and turning blue, and a myriad of other horrifying stories, I guess I'm safe from CPS showing up at my house).
I'm super excited to be going to Vegas next weekend to do a killer 3 day hair weekend. Can't wait to see my clients and salon friends and to just be back in the adult world :) but it is bringing a terrifying experience about . . . I have to leave Riley for 3 days!!!!! I hate to have to do it, and I've been trying to finagle a million different babysitting options, but alas none of them made sense. So I'm leaving my bug with Brooke and Todd. I'm so glad it's coming next weekend so I don't obsess about it for too long. Wish me luck that I don't freak out. More later not just silly updates, pics too, yikes bikes!

On the Move!
So sorry my friends that I haven't blogged in so long :(
We have had just a little bit going on, hahaha! We have officially moved to California!
We are 95% unpacked, just a couple of random boxes that I'm trying to figure out a spot for. Our little bug is adjusting as well as can be expected. He of course started cutting his first tooth just days before we moved, so he's been a combo of tooth cranky/unfamiliar bed cranky/overstimulation cranky/ and just I'm a 7 1/2 month old baby cranky; poor little guy! And he got his first official boy bruise today. He likes to flip over on his changing table the second you put him down, which makes changing diapers and outfits a hoot ;)! But he was flipping over while I was trying to hold him down with one hand and put his dirty diaper in the Diaper Genie with the other hand and WHACK! he hit his little dome on the corner of our plastic changing table organizer; it made an awesome, perfect right angle shaped bruise on his forehead, so sad :( But Joey made light of it, thank goodness because I felt so bad, saying "He's a boy and this is the first of many bruises to come" (good husband :) )
I just have been feeling so discombobulated and so has Joey and I know Riley has too. We have uprooted our whole life as we knew it. Yes for the good of our family, but it has been a tough couple of days. Seeing all of the family on the regular has been an awesome reminder though of why we did this in the first place.
More good news . . . I called the California State Board of Cosmetology for the 100th time today to check on the status of my license and . . . HOORAH!! It has been approved and is being sent to me as we speak. Thank goodness! I know it's been less than 2 weeks that I haven't been working, but I feel crazy! I need to feel productive. I love the time with my bug, especially since I know he's feeling a bit uneasy right now, but I want to make some $ and get our California life going. It's been funny saying I'm a "stay at home mom" (which Amy thought sounded better than unemployed ;) ) I admire the at home mommies, but we are not in the position financially for me to do that. I think if we were, I wouldn't feel so restless about not working, but we're not, so I am :(
More updates to come, including pics. I'm currently without my own internet, so I'm bumming it off of Joey's and Joe's lap tops for now. Love and miss all of my Vegas peeps and am loving seeing and making plans with my California peeps. Pray for me to chill out and continue adjusting, yikes bikes!
