Well folks...

I am officially in move-out mode here at work. It's bittersweet in the sense that I am finally getting to do what I've dreamed about doing since the second Jax was born, but at the same time, I'm extremely scared. I am not going to know what to do with myself come Nov. 1st. I'm sure really it'll be more like Nov. 11th, when I realize I quit my job and I don't have to go back. I'm hoping to leave the ole' job on good graces, and some day if I need it, be able to come back. I've got a lot of well wishers hoping Dean and I the best, and lots of "please come backs!!!" from some of my counter parts in our Home Office's so that is a nice note to go out on.

I'm just cleaning up my cubical, and going through folders and folders and folders of documents, and notes, and emails, and and and... I'm also creating a "will" for all my coworkers, and will be having an auction for all the stuff I bought and use here to make my job easier...

On top of getting ready here at work, I'm also trying to get some stuff cleared out at home. If I downsize now, when it's time to move we'll have so much less to go through. I've been trying to tackle on spot at a time vs. one room at a time, so that I don't get carried away with something I might actually want/need later. The garage is slowly becoming my main target, as all the stuff I throw out there is literally thrown, and I can no longer call it a garage... it's more like a black hole. I'm scared to go out there every morning to get the dogs food. We plan on moving with as little as possible, and hoping in each new place we call home we can find either furnished living, or buy only what we need (bed, tv, table). All I plan on taking is a few items... (one couch, Jaxon's room, hope chest dad built, maybe the coffee table and that's pretty much it) So I've got a lot of work to do once I am through here and back from visiting Dean! =)

Other than that - life is good. Extremely blessed to have so much help with family and friends with Jaxon. Less than 20 days to go and I am so excited!!!! I've got to plan my trip to see Dean, plan Jaxon's first bday (which I think we're gunna have 3 mini parties) and then start the tedious task of actually getting the house ready which included a few cosmetic repairs and then redoing our master bath... **sigh**

Well just thought I would post a little something other than Jax for once... =) Although that post will come this weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week! Be safe and take care!

Love you!

Shylah, Dean and Jax
