Moving and Stuff
Well, we are officially moved into our new house now, thanks to a bunch of people from church. We did have some funny things happen when we moved in though. First, I backed into my van with the rental truck while trying to avoid the neighbors van. I dented the door a bit but I don't think it is too bad. That made me kind of sad when I did that but it could have been a lot worse. The move went pretty fast but now I am in a sea of boxes.

Something really nice that happened before we moved (and before Riley and Kaiya left) was that Cassaundra Redman, the person that has been cutting Rachelle's hair lately, came over and cut Riley's, Kaiya's, and my hair which was really needed. Since we got married, Rachelle has cut my hair. She didn't actually know how to cut hair when she started but it only took her about three haircuts to learn. However, because she was gone, I just had a hard time stomaching the cost of having someone else cut my hair. The last time Cassaundra cut Rachelle's hair, she offered to cut mine and the kid's hair for free while Rachelle was gone. That was really nice and I can definitely recommend her as a talented hair stylist and a wonderful person.

Something else that was really nice was that our friend and realtor Barbara Oldham (a really good realtor too) gave us her not-so-old entertainment center. It was a really nice one to and fit much better with things than our older one. Moving in to a new house is not nearly as fun when it is just yourself. I am trying to guess where Rachelle would want stuff because I want her to be excited and relaxed when she comes back.

She now only has about 7 weeks left which is really not very long. In reality it could be less than that. There was recently a sextuplet birth at the same hospital Rachelle will be going to and it was hard for me to look at those babies. They are just so small. It was when I was looking at them that it all hit me again. Lately, I don't think about it much because I so many other things to deal with. However, seeing those babies kind of freaked me out and made me realize that it will be me in a fairly short amount of time.
