Just a few more months...

So yesterday, Jed talked to our apartment office to see when exactly our lease was up, and we found out that it's up at the end of May. After that our rent will go up almost $200 (ridiculous!) so that turn of events has pretty much decided our plans for this summer.
We wanted to stay until July but we wanted to take a couple family vacations before we moved to Utah.
It is a little frustrating to try to figure things out, just because we don't even know where we'll be stationed after Jed gets out of Basic Officer Training School and what he has to do before reporting.

But our tentative plans right now are:
Jed graduates May 21st
Move to Roseville by May 31st & stay at my mom's house for part of June.
June 6-11 Catch a hop to Guam with the kids (since they have passports which need to be used)
June 15-18 Go camping with my family
Move to Utah mid-late June
Spend all of July getting settled in at Jed's parents' house with Jed reporting to Hill AFB (he still has to see if that can be done)
July 25th Jed reports to BOTS

It hit hard that we have less than two months until we move. I was planning on three months, so now I have to rush around and start getting the house prepped to move... if anyone has boxes they can part with that would be a HUGE help!

I just wanted to also add, that I loved conference! I've been having some apprehensions about moving and making sure it was the right thing to move to Utah instead of staying in California. That and just having to deal with Jed being gone for three months and what I would do to keep myself busy. (I know I'm such a big baby about this especially when other wives have to send their husbands overseas for a year at a time or don't have their husbands with them anymore) But we went to the temple over the past month and prayed and fasted about things and we had our answers of what to do. Conference and the talks and testimonies that were shared really helped to confirm those answers, since most of my answers were the topics that were covered. I love when that happens. (It's nice when you can feel Heavenly Father's and Christ's love for you through personal messages and testimonies of their chosen leaders) Besides, I'll get to spend all of my time with my little loves and they'll keep me busy :)

Elijah figured out that peanut butter is sticky (this is what he does instead of taking a nap)

Chloe can now climb on top of everything 
(seriously there's nothing she can't get too, 
she even knows to push chairs over to counters/tables so she can climb onto them)

  1. Nooo! Not so soon! We will certainly miss you guys! I'll look in my garage for boxes. I mostly have weird shaped ones if you want some of those.
