So, We're here. We're finally getting into a routine and getting a hang of this thing.
Our live are finally starting to get back to normal. The movers have come and gone. I think we have 90% of our boxes unpacked. The movers have come and picked up the boxes (seriously awesome!)
Friday, FMO (facilities management office) comes to pick up the temporary furniture they had loaned us (2 couches, 2 livingroom chairs, 4 dining room chairs, a end table, and a bed w/frame). Its taken longer for them to come get it then we used it. Figures, huh?
But on the bright side. We're finally settling into a routine. I'm kind of loving life here.
Mondays & Thursdays
J and I get up with Bri and take him to work (we're still a 1 car house). Then we come home and get ready to meet up with my running group. I run from 10-1130 with the group. Then a friend and I go out to lunch. After that, we all go run errands together (its more fun that way). Then we go pick up Bri. When we get home I make dinner while Bri plays with J. By the time dinner's over its almost time for bath/bed time. We do bath/bed time, I feed J, and put him down. Most nights this is around 8pm. Then, time for homework. I'm up till 12-1am most nights.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Fridays
These days are my favorite. They're just simple. Bri gets up and changes J and brings him to me in bed, then goes about getting ready. I feed J, and if i feel awake, i'll put him back down in his crib. If i had a rough night with homework (more often then not), I'll prop him on bri's side of the bed between me and some pillows. We get up for the day between 8-9. We go down stairs, feed sammy, get some caffeine going. J naps or plays (most days) while i work. He naps around 11. When he wakes up we walk to the grocery store and bakery. We come home and I clean the kitchen/ do dishes. J naps again around 3ish. Bri comes home around 5. and we do our night time routine.
These days are no more or less full then they were when we were in california... but it just feels different out here. I'm so content.
sure, I never feel quite 'on top' of things. But, we get through. I'm starting to really enjoy cooking again. I'm beginning to become more adventurous again. Bri's the envy of all the single guys at work. He often takes the excess leftover to work for them. I love LOVE to cook and the fact that some lonely kid out here gets some home cooked meal makes me happy.
Moral of the story, We're settling in.
Now that we're really in the swing of things, hopefully we'll be able to go on more adventures.
... stay tuned.
