Sweet Greens

Hello, Friends! We are back from our 10 day stay in Florida, OK well, 2 of us are back. Mr. Sweet Greens’ is at his first day of work as we speak. It is fantastic that he found a job so quickly! I just thought it would happen once we had actually moved to Florida, silly me, right? Now, I have to pack my entire house by myself. Is that crazy or what?

We rented a 3 bedroom villa on a lake in a lovely little community in Palm Beach County. We decided renting for a while would give us a better idea of exactly where we want to live, plus it removed a lot of the stress of moving so quickly. The community that we will be renting in has a large pool that is easily accessible from the walkway around the lake. In fact, we can see the pool from our patio. Eben’s school is right down the street, next door to the library! You know we will be stopping frequently after school. There is also a Whole Foods directly across the street from our community. We can either walk or ride our bikes to get our groceries. I can’t wait.

I am super excited to get to spend a lot of quality time with Eben’s great grandparents, my father and mother in law and other family and friends. Especially, the lovely Cameron Mora, my best friend from early parenthood. We have been friends since our first born children were tiny tots, but haven’t seen each other in years. We were able to see each other during our stay in Florida and it was if we didn’t skip a beat. Great friendships are just like that, agree?

So, for the next couple of weeks, I will be packing and packing and then do a little more packing. In the process, I am going to try to squeeze in time to blog, build Lego’s with Eben, take a water aerobics class or two and enjoy my lovely friends here in Colorado for a couple more weeks. Ok, I am exhausted already!

Thank you for being here through this huge transition! You guys are the best listeners. 🙂

Hello, Friends! Things are moving along quite well on our mini trip to Florida. We have decided that we are going to rent for awhile, once we officially become Florida residents. We decided to rent because we don’t want to rush into purchasing a home, only to decide later that we wish we would have bought in a different neighborhood, school zone or picked a different home. It just sounds like a safer bet at this point and isn’t as stressful, don’t you agree?

Also, Mr. Sweet Greens received a job offer yesterday and starts work here in Florida on Monday. Yes, this Monday, as in 3 days. Can you believe it? Eben and I will be traveling back to Colorado on Sunday to start packing our belongings. Then, Mr. Sweet Greens will fly home Thursday to get our car and pop up camper (and anything that we can fit inside them) to drive back to Florida over the weekend. He will then fly back sometime in the next 2 weeks to help me pack up our moving van and make the cross country trip one more time. He is such a trooper, if I had to drive cross country twice I think I would cry. Really.

Poor little Eben came down with a fever and the chills yesterday, so we have been snuggled up in bed together watching television, reading and playing his Nintendo DS. I hope he will be feeling better soon because he really wanted to hit the beach a couple of times before we leave on Sunday. Either way, he will have plenty of beach time in his near future.

How has your week been?
Has it been as busy as mine?
Are you moving soon?

P.S. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and love as the Sweet Greens’ family makes this huge transition. We really appreciate it, you are the best!
