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!
