And that I ALWAYS say that when I post something, but I really find it hard to get motivated to spend time on the computer after I stare at one at work all day.
So if any of you haven't heard our big news, Ian and I are moving to Boston! People keep saying "Are you excited???" and honestly, it's hard to be excited about it just yet. We spent the entire weekend packing up all of Ian's clothes and stuff he'll need up there, and he left early this morning. It was SO difficult... we don't know at this point when I'll be able to move because we have to sell our house and I have to find a job, since my company doesn't operate in Massachusetts so there's no possibility to transfer. The worst part so far was going into the closet this morning and seeing this:
Hopefully, this won't last long. Being 1,200 miles away from each other is just not cool. But to be fair, my brother and his wife (and son) are apart for an entire year while he's in Iraq, so it's hard to be too upset without feeling incredibly selfish. At least we have Skype....
So Ian set out this morning headed for Chattanooga, where he picked up his sister who flew in to drive with him. They'll drive as much as they can today (it's about 20 hours total) and spend the night somewhere. Tomorrow, they'll continue on and Ian will drop Mimi off in New York (and maybe have dinner with his family) and head on to Boston. He starts work on Tuesday.
All in all, I'm so excited for this new chapter in our lives. It will be a little difficult in the beginning, but his aunt and uncle have graciously offered their home to us (just south of Boston) until I can get up there and we can figure out what we're doing house / job wise. Without their help, I'm not sure how we would have done this. I know this opportunity is going to be amazing, and I'm looking forward to living in a different area of the country. It's going to be COLD! But hey, I get to buy new (warm) clothes :-)
Wish us luck!!

Oh Leah! I just can't imagine how you must feel. I'll be praying you find a new job and sell your house quickly so you can get back into Ian's arms! I love your excuse about warm clothes! Hey--you can actually USE a hat and sweater up there!
Congrats on, well, everything! Wedding, the move to Bean Town, the whole shebang! Very exciting times! I saw the wedding pics and everything looked BEAUTIFUL! It'd be great to get together if you make it across the pond in October - and you can meet our little guy!
I think you need to update!
