Besides being extremely exhausted, we are finally starting to make some progress with our move. Almost all of our furniture it packed included the 1000lb. treadmill, but not without leaving some nice marks in the walls I will need to fix. I have to say thanks to everyone who came yesterday to help us load the truck. I unfortunately was unable to be there because of my five hour stint at the gym to finally finish all the routines. I am relieved of that responsibility for the duration of our time here.....all three days, and I can concentrate on getting the last of our things together, which didn't seem like a lot until we got it all out to pack. Man we have a lot of stuff!!!
We think we have found a house. It is in New Port Richey, FL, which is about a half hour from my mom. We signed a contract yesterday morning, but are waiting until we get there to make any money transfers. It seems like it will be nice, although I am not so sure about being out in the NPR/Trinity area, but I am sure we will adjust. Miles still doesn't know what is going on, and it is useless to tell him. He does like all the new found room he has acquired since all the furniture left. The first thing he did was walk into the family room, look around and then start screaming and laughing while running in big circles. Apparently he likes his space.
Well that's about it so far. I have to stop stalling and get back to packing. We have a busy day today and I would assume for the next two weeks at least, but the end is in sight. Be thinking of us on the long 5 day drive to Florida with a one and a half year old and two dogs in the car. We will need some solid prayers to make it through that one with our sanity.

Happy Birthday!
I know she doesn't read our blog, but my grandma just celebrated her 90th birthday on the 22nd. I usually post it on the date, but with all that's been going on, I am a little late.....Happy Birthday Grandma.
We should all take a moment to remember life is precious, and not all of us will be lucky enough to have those we love be apart of our lives for that long. I told her she was "90 Years Young". She thought about it, said it out loud and then laughed.

Moving Update
Just to keep everyone updated, we are still moving. We close on the 5th, but will be pre-signing and leaving on the morning of the 4th. It will take us about 5 days to drive to Florida because we can not drive more than 5 or 6 hours with the baby. We are currently trying to find a house to rent from out here in Colorado and have been sending my mom out as the scout to check out properties. Unfortunately there isn't a lot available to us in their terrible market right now, so it has been rather frustrating.
As far as all the packing goes, it is moving along slowly but surely. We had our inspections last night and the realtor indicated that there shouldn't be much we need to do. That was good news considering the reputation of our home builder. (Don't buy Richmond American!)
Miles hasn't picked up on anything even though we shuffle him around from place to place all week long and he hasn't had a consistent nap schedule since we put the house on the market back in May. He still manages to get plenty of toy time in and occasionally watches too much TV because I am so busy doing errands. We are trying to curb that habit as of late when we noticed a little addiction developing. Now he gets more music and reading time. We keep telling him he's going to visit Nana soon and he seems excited, but he probably has no idea what we are talking about. I'm sure he doesn't even know she lives in another state or what another state is for that matter.
Anyway if we can push through this stress, which has come on us tenfold, then we should be okay, even though we only have 13 days before we leave. Chris' job has been horribly busy for him and he has been feeling the pressure to bring work home. I quit working at the gym a couple weeks ago, but not before promising to get their optional team all new floor and beam routines for their 2008 season before I left. I will spend three hours every night for the next two weeks choreographing 18 routines and pulling my hair out left and right. I have only done 6 beam so far and I am running out of ideas, which with 12 left has been a pleasant feeling. I forgot to pick up boxes today which is good, because I was going to use packing as an excuse to not work on a floor routine I have due tomorrow night.......yikes! Keep us in your thoughts and wish us luck. I'd love to say it's going to be a long 2 weeks, but I know it's going to fly. We'll keep everyone posted.
