We are moving to East Mesa in 2 weeks. I'm starting to feel emotions surfacing that I have been trying to bury deep deep inside. So if you see me and I burst into tears, blame it on the pregnancy because I'm not ready to face the truth.
Anyway, the good news is our house is sold and we found a cheap rental 15 minutes from David's work. The property manager congratulated us on keeping high credit scores in such an unstable time. Yeah that's great, but the short sale of our house is going to knock our numbers soon. We'll get it back up though, we just have to be patient. So our goals have been met (house sold, get rid of David's commute) but that doesn't keep us from being sad about leaving our beautiful home and wonderful friends and neighbors. Life just stinks sometimes.
Last night I did my nightly check on the girls before I went to bed. This is what I found:
I ran to get David so he could see, then the 2 of us just stood there looking at her and laughing hysterically but quietly (which is hard to do). I almost had a pregnancy-related accident if you know what I mean. :)
Hadi's mom bought the sleep mask for Cyrena when they were at Target one day. She LOVES it. She usually puts it on when she's saying goodnight to us (which is SO funny) but always pulls it off before she falls asleep. Not this night. I think she was really tired.
And here's Miss Natalie with her quilt, blankie, and her dog on her tummy. I think she was really tired too.
As long as I have my little family I can survive anywhere right?

That is precious...oh the silly things girls do.
Good luck with the move. I Hate change, and yes, that was with a capital H.
Awww I'm so sad that you're going so soon. But it must be the right decision, because Heavenly Father is making things run very smoothly for you. You'll be missed though! I've enjoyed getting to know you via aerobics and scrapbooking! And the pics of the girls are adorable. Yes, you'll be just fine. You'll just add new friends to your repertoire!
Ditto on the emotions...
Cyrena cracks me up! So sad you are leaving...Poor Ashley. Congratulations on your new baby!
I know we haven't been there for almost a year but still I hate knowing that when I go back to visit our ward your beautiful family won't be there for me to hug! Even though you are moving you have got to keep in touch with me. Pretty please??? You know how much I love that Cyrena Dean!!! And her mommy & daddy are great too! ;D Sending you lots of <3 Jenna!!!
I'm happy for you that things are working out so well and that the house finally sold. I know that's been a big stresser. So incredibly sad that you're leaving though :( Even though I knew it was coming, it doesn't make it any easier. What a relief though that David's commute will be slashed so dramatically - makes it all worthwhile! Just don't forget about us! :)
Hang in there!!! Moving is always hard, but I have found that when it's the right thing it always turns out for the best, even if it doesn't seem like it for awhile. I knew we were supposed to move to Burley, yet I pretty much hated it here for almost a year and now I can't imagine living anywhere else. It will be so worth it in the end! Oh, and your girls are so precious!!!!
BOO HOO!!!! I am in denial!
1. thegirls are so cute, I miss them already.
2. I smiled knowing you were cracking up in silence, those are the best moments, when watching our children and they don't know it.
3. Yes you can survive this move, as long as you have your family, will it be easy, No. Since I'm in that boat I can honestly say it was one of the hardest choices I've made and continue making each day. One word to leave you with is Effort, as long as you put in the effort and your friends do the same you will feel just as loved and lucky to have them no matter the miles. I wish you weren't moving so far, you've really set my standards high for preschool for my H, you inspired me as my FIRST VT and where a blessing to me as a friend, I'm forever grateful for all of that. Your family is simply divine and will be missed but not far away enough to not stay connected!! We will be in touch! Can't wait to see new photo's of your place!
xoxo S.
You are so cute. I always end up smiling when I read your posts. We will miss you so much. Spencer and I are so grateful for you - truly! Your family is so wonderful, you will be loved wherever you go and in a few years you will wonder why you ever thought twice about leaving here. Love follows you around Jenna. Sad for us but so happy for you.

We'll miss you guys too! It's a good thing that you are only moving to Mesa, and not out of state! That way we can still play! The girls are so cute! I love the beauty sleep Cyrena's getting!
Oh and once I get one of these masks for Ethan I'll have to take a similar shot ;)
Your girls are so so cute! You are not the only one feeling very sad about your move. There are MANY of us!! But even though you will be greatly missed, you are energetic, fun, sweet, happy and people are drawn to you. You will have plenty of new neighbors and friends and will feel at home in no time. Just know you will have to head back to the west side for a visit every now and then:)
Just imagining you and David standing there snickering makes me laugh. I miss you guys!
I really wish I were there to help you move. It's a lot, and the leaving is hard. I can't imagine 5 years to way you get attached to people. Good luck. Pray for comfort. I'm praying for you guys. Hey, just 3 more days of this commute, right? Woohoo!
I laughed right out loud at Cyrena's sleep mask...
They ARE little beauties! I feel sad for you do be moving, but you are sure to make wonderful friends in your new place. You and David are awesome and Mesa is super lucky to have you!!
