Wow...March already???

I can't even believe it! Ethan's almost 5 months old, Gwen is almost twelve YEARS old... life is going by so fast!
We have so much going on in our lives, too!
We've just started the process of buying this home, and we're really excited. Escrow is slated to close April 13, but from what I've heard, that date is just a suggestion. So, I am trying to decide what date to give for our 30 days' notice at our current place. Any help figuring that out would be great!
So we're definitely excited, but it's so bittersweet to leave the place we've lived so long. This is the only place I've lived since I moved out! Gwen's WHOLE life has been here! Our whole marriage has been here! You get the point. Anyway, so it's pretty weird to leave it. We keep remembering and then forgetting to take pictures of the whole place. I've gotta do it before we pack any more.
So hopefully escrow can close a little early and we can be out of here by spring break (April 2), because we can do lots of work during the break. We're slated to go on vacation with my sister and her family April 9-13, so if escrow doesn't close til then, that's a bummer. Then Mike and Gwen go back to school/work on April 16.
After that, My sister's baby is due April 21, and there's a college group retreat April 22-23.
Wen comes May, when we don't have anything planned (yet) and then June. Gwen, Mikey, My Mom, and Liz's birthdays, future quest.... Then Gwen is going to Texas for ALL of July, then we have August, then school starts again...... WOW!
All while trying to get settled into our new house! But we are so excited!

My favorite part of the move? PURGING our lives of all of our junk that we've hoarded over the years. I'm trying to get rid of one box for every two I pack. We'll see! WOO!

So that's the quick run-down of stuff. I am hoping to update more often!
Bye for now!

I actually read this right after you posted it. I had things to say then but forgot to comment. Reread it today and now have nothing to say. Welp!
