Hello Sunshine....Goodbye Rain

So here we go! The moving truck is out in front of the house, my home is a MESS, and we are almost ready to head on out of here. It's a bittersweet ending to our run in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
The bitter? Having to leave such an amazing place that we have come to call home.....
The sweet? Steve has transferred/taken a new position at his company that we are all VERY excited about. He's been traveling out to Miami quite a bit and now he's taking this program nationwide! (Insert round of applause - so lame- from me, right here!)
The even more sweet? We're moving back to Sacramento. Folsom/Fair Oaks more specifically. It is going to be amazing for our little Max to grow up around his adoring family. He will never know a life without his grandparents - which Steve and I were SO incredibly blessed to have had and remember.
This is fast you think? Us too! We found out we were moving while Steve was on a business trip in Miami a few weeks ago. We got home - packed him up - and sent him down to Sacramento. I stayed behind with Max packing as fast as I could. Thankfully I have SUCH amazing parents - who flew up with Steve on Thursday to help pack, load the truck, and drive home. My parents are so incredibly helpful - always there to help out when we need it. Thank God for them. I can't even begin to say enough.
Poor Max, doesn't know what's happening. All he knows is he wants to be held, up 'in the mix', and as close to any one of us as possible. He's flying home with Steve tomorrow. We're not about to make him drive in the car for 10 hours. He's got such a personality on him lately! He either DOES or DOESN'T want things - and man, will he let you know. I love him......can't wait to bring him home!
