Although I am excited about moving, I must admit that it's a little scary. I have moved around from New York -> New Jersey -> Nova Scotia -> New York -> Ontario and now New Jersey! Most of these moves occurred while I was young or still living at home so it wasn't an issue as my parents handled it. This is my first adult move so it's a little daunting. I resigned from work and completed my last day on Friday. I had mixed feelings, for one I had alot of work to do because I was behind from my prior vacation, and because I have made so many friends here and it will be difficult to leave them. My job was great and I really enjoyed working there, especially since two of my closest friends work there too. I will miss you two, especially for our Whopper Wednesdays! Lol! If it wasn't for the move I wouldn't have left the job.
What's funny was that whenever a friend heard that I had "news" they automatically thought I was pregnant. Lol! Then they were shocked to hear about the move. Everything is up in the air right now and I think I'll feel better once we figure out what we'll do with our belongings, with a place to live, daycare, etc. It's not like I'm moving 30 minutes away and can visit places, most of my correspondence is over the phone and I hope that I'm getting the right information. I have a laundry list of things to do and they are not happening as quickly as I'd prefer them to. It'll all work out in the end and normally I'd like to fast forward to the end, but I think I want to enjoy this time as I'll be leaving soon. Right now I'm talking with 3 moving companies to negotiate a rate and an acceptable move time. Somehow I think working would be easier than coordinating an international move.
In any case the three of us are doing well. Today is Adit's birthday and it's a big one, his 30th! Now he will stop bragging about being in his 20's, lol! It's a Wednesday so not much celebrating. In fact we did an early celebration last weekend with some friends and family of ours. Our university friend Kume was visiting us from Singapore and she shares the same birthday as Adit. We had an amazing dinner at a steak house that left us all full for days! I love when she comes to visit, because I feel like I'm back in University and we talk about old times. Also James loves having more people around and her playing with him gives Adit & I a break!
Earlier this week I took James to the doctor for his 18 month appointment, which translates to immunization and the Nippising Screening Test. James passed the Nipissing Test with flying colors, being able to do all the required tasks for his age so we were pleased. Otherwise he took the shot well, only crying a little until he was soothed by me nursing him. Other than that we have his long awaited ENT appointment at the end of the week, so I will have some news later.
That's about it for now, back to my tasks!
Happy reading!
