M, as you know has been in STL, with work. H and I joined him last week. We're staying at my parents house. Which really works out to our benefit. Their house has always been the "Home Base" when were here. You never know whose going to pop in and say hello. We absolutely love being here. It's nice to be around family and friends again. I sometimes forget that I don't have to pack everything in a day. It really hasn't hit that we are moving back.
Speaking of friends. Did I mention I'm exactly one mile away from this GIRL. yes, one mile.. door step to door step. She measured, and that my friend is why I love her. She makes morning runs fun-ish.
First thing on the list when we arrived in STL, was to watch this guy graduate.
I've been apart of Devin's life since he was 10. What's not to love about this kid? He's smart, sweet, funny and I didn't have to waddle my prego ass around to get this kid in my life. WINNING. We are so proud of him.
That's where the fun ended, the next day. I hit the ground running, in the house hunting. I mean I LOVE being here at my parents but let's just be honest. We need a home. Thank the big guy above our Realtor is a God sent. It's literally like looking for houses with my mom. She makes it fun and she totally get's me. House hunting has been an adventure. You would not believe how some people live. We've seen it all : Birds, dogs, mean fat black cats, weird smells, weird neighbors, canoes... yes... ol boy had a canoe in their house... Those houses didn't make the cut.
I don't want to jinx us, and clearly I have to tell the world all of our business.. I think we may have found a house... we're in the "have your people call our people stage" The joys of relocation.
H of course is loving all of these changes. She loves being in STL. She still thinks STL is my parents house and not the actual city. bless her. My sister and sister in law have been such a big help in this move. We don't have to worry about entertaining H. They have her social calender booked.
Running has not been up to par but it's happening and so is the HH run. I'm not really sure what I was thinking when I signed up for the 5k BEFORE the Half Mary on Saturday. oh wait it's because I'm a medal whore and I'll do just about anything for a medal.
I'm really looking forward to this weekend in KC with YEAR TWENTY NINE and MACKE MONOLOGUES.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
You have some big stuff going on, very cool! Did you already know Marcia beforehand? It is cool that you are so close to another blogger.
ReplyDeleteTotally random but I'll be in KC this weekend too. We leave Saturday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteHoly.Hell. Your life is crazy busy, but all in good ways.
ReplyDeleteMedal whore - yes- that seems to accurately sum me up, as well. And let's be honest, the 5k is going to be run (run - ha!) nice and easy.
Can.not.wait. for this weekend!
