The End of an Era...

When I woke up today the HUGE collection of baby stuff((play pens, bumbo seats, clothes, bouncy chairs)) was gone. And although I had helped pack it all up last night, it still seemed odd. Felt off.

I have spent the better part of the last 5 years bringing babies into this world. And I am unbelievably blessed to have 4 perfect, healthy, beautiful little girls. And even though I turned in my child bearing card awhile ago. It hit me, square in the face. This is it. No more babies. I have to say it made me a little sad. I LOVED being pregnant. and now that part of my life is over.

But the sadness passed, probably from the euphoria of reducing a MAJOR amount of clutter. i hate clutter.But also because There is something comforting about knowing that my family is complete. That the scenery may change, my girls are gonna grow, Daddy and I will age, but it will be the six of us against the world. and that makes me happy.

It always comes full circle....

So i have been thinking, and over thinking, and obsessing as I always do.

and i dont know why i do this... Plans are for people in control of their own lives. I believe that our path is set, we just have to learn to walk along it.

Current example... 6 plus years ago, a man offered Daddykins a job in...you guessed it Houston. and i said NO WAY, i would NEVER live anywhere but Orange County! I had a job i liked, a life i loved. and here we are 6 years, 4 kids, and a ton of moves later doing what? Moving to Houston. Guess I always had to take the long way...

We have an annoucement...

and NO, we arent having another baby!

Daddy, Mommy and the Fultz 4 are future Texas residents.

Daddy's job is relocating us so that "the team" is all together. We are excited (and anxious and scared and optimistic and planning and obsessing and overthinking) for our new adventure.

I always thought I would make a great Southern Belle, and although it may be a little late for me... I am hoping the girls get cute southern accents!! So we are going to enjoy the spring here in Whatcom county and will be saying our farewell sometime in June in hopes that we can get settled and adjusted in time for Cailin to start kindergarten and Reegan preschool.

Right now its all just starting to sink in, I have so much research to do ((Did you know there arent ANY Trader Joe's in the entire state of Texas????? the horror)) so many lists and plans to make. But I will say this... I am excited, ecstaic, ALMOST giddy to be moving somewhere with a REAL mall!!!
