Dear baby Jesus.....

As I sit here head throbbing, back aching, and mind reeling I know there is not enough coffee in the pot to keep me going. I attempt , at any rate, to let the coffee run it's course and hopefully keep turning the engine until it jump stars my body.

Today is day one of moving hell. The moving company is coming to get our first mini shipment. It seems simple, someone else comes in and moves your stuff, you stand around. But in reality that seems really awkward to me and seeing as how we live in someone elses house there is a lot of stuff that they need to avoid. So I feel like my day will be full of saying, this not that, and excuse me while I go breastfeed my infant, no Sebastian you are not a mover, etc. But who knows. I am always planning for the worse but hoping for the best, so maybe I'm over reacting. Damon would probably agree ;).

So for today please say a prayer to baby jesus and ask that he help this mini Forbes clan through what is going to be a crazy move.



UPDATE: Things went awesome! They were in and out within an hour. Seb of course wanted to help and kept saying, " Guys, Guys, Hi." But it was great. So thank you for all your baby Jesus prayers, they worked!

Ahhhhhh

Life is so hectic right now. They are coming to get all of our stuff on Thursday and hopefully things will slow down. Just wanted to share two of my three loveys with everyone. Say hello to my little friends! I'll write soon to update everyone on the move.

So I was thinking....

Today as I sat in Brentwood traffic taking Em to the doctor I daydreamed. This isn't at all a far cry from what I spend most of my days doing but this was a spectacular thought. What if my skin could taste like anything! Without hesitation I knew what I would want it to be. Peppermint. No question about it. If my skin could taste like anything I would choose cool refreshing peppermint . And when I spoke my breath would blow sweetly through the air. That is my thought of the day.

My Steps Are Forward

After emailing my exciting news about our move to friends I became deep in thought. Which prompted this email. My life is moving on. In 46 days we are moving to Oahu. This is an amazing opportunity to live in paradise and I couldn't be more excited. But now that it draws closer I'm forced to face hard facts.

I have lived in Tennessee all of my life. Chattanooga is the furthest from home I have ever lived. I have been within reach of my parents and friends for as long as I can remember. There are countless times I have dreamed of fleeing this place , to start somewhere new. And here I am sitting on the edge of an incredible journey, the next phase. It's like when you watch a movie and you see the character as a child and then the next scene they are grown up. That's how it feels at times. No more waking up as a child only to lay in bed until I wanted to get up and go eat cereal out of the box. No more worrying about my grades, about my soccer games, about work, paying for tuition, parties on the weekend. It's all something greater now. I am watching my children grow up and experience the things I did. It's terrifying really. I can't help but think when did this all happen? Where am I? Wait, I'm not ready. But the truth is it doesn't. It doesn't stop it just keeps going, faster at times. I catch myself neglecting it at times. I don't breathe it in enough. I try but it's hard in the heat of the moment.

So here goes, my steps are forward.
