When I go home, I’m not going to live there any more.  Steve accepted a job yesterday afternoon and he will be finding us an apartment in the next couple of weeks.  I will then return home and have to spend some additional time apart from him while I get our house ready to put on the market.  At least that will give friends and family a little bit of time to meet Sabrina before I join him in our new city.  We are moving south – milder winters and good barbeque but still no freaking closer to the ocean (is that so much to ask?!?)  I will share more after we’ve let our friends and family know.

It’s a lot to take in but Steve and I rarely do things small or one at a time.  We bought a house, got married, both started new jobs and got a puppy within less than 60 days.  Then things were quiet for awhile.  Now I’ve moved to Guatemala, we are bringing home our baby soon(ish), I’ve quit my job, Steve is starting a new job and moving us to a new city.  Hopefully that means things will be quiet for awhile other than selling our house and buying a new one next year.

Yesterday was a lovely day.  Seegal and Abby came to visit after their embassy appointment.  They are going home on Tuesday.  Abby was darling in her embassy dress.

Abby and Sabrina played next to each other rather than with each other

Seegal and I shopped a little (neither of us spent a penny) and stopped in the park to watch a strange but cute little parade

Then we joined a group that gets together each Friday for dinner.  It was once again nice to hang out with other fostering moms.  Sabrina flirted with a boy and they ended up holding hands.

I told her no dating until she is 30 or I am dead…whichever comes first.
