Its been a while since my last post.....I guess its just that time of the year. We dont have a ton of stuff going on right now. Its getting to the tail end of winter so most of our time is being locked up indoors. Its a little crazy to think that we are only a few weeks off it from being a year since my folks were here. At that point my parents were taking Ava down to the park even if they did have to be all rugged up. Just to think that within the month that is a possibility seems so far away right now as we have not had a typical Utah winter and it seems that everyone is waiting for it to come. I was really hoping for a very white winter too.....as long as it doesnt happen on my commute.
We are now satrting to plan for some trips mid year. Today we booked a trip to disneyland in May - whiuch Ash and I are really looking forward to. We decided that we are not going to tell Ava and wake up one morning and tell her to get in the car because we are going to disneyland to see what sort of response we will get. We are also starting to think forward to our yearly pilgrimage to VEGAS!! We are looking to head out for my birthday as it seems to be where i have spent it for the past few years.
Ashley went to vegas last weekend for the George Strait concert which has become an annual trip they both really enjoy, whih left me at home alone to tend 2 girls........and what a handful that was. We had alot of fun but i was extremely happy to have Ash home. Dempsey has had an ear infection and before that she had croup for a few weeks now and it seems like it has been a long time since we had a full nights sleep.......as i type this she is in her room 3 hours after we put her down screaming her head off. I just hope that she gets better soon because she hasnt been her normal bubbly self.
A part of the reason i have not been on the blogging so much since the end of last year is because i have mostly had thoughts running through my head that out of repsect to others i have not been willing to air while it was all so fresh. We informed the inlaws at the end of last year that we have been planning on relocating the family to Australia at the end of 2012. It has been a very strange few months knowing that this is our last year here in the states and i am trying to make sure that i get all of the must do things done. Its a little bittersweet as i have really come to enjoy living here and have some great family and friends, but in the end i just know that life for the family will be better in Australia. It will be extremely hard to leave as this is no longer my second home it is now my other home. I now view my time here differently - knowing that this could be the last time that i am do or see something - i find myself staring at the mountains in amazement just as i did when i moved here 5 years ago...............
