So far 2014 has been quite the year. Billy had been talking about the possibility of moving to Georgia for work for about a year, but I was never interested in entertaining the idea because the thought of leaving our friends and family was not something I was interested in.
However, in November, my parents moved to California for work. That was hard because I saw my parents every weekend. Being so close to them was great for all of us. Knowing that my IL's would soon be traveling quite a bit once my FIL retired, my 'being close to family' idea was pretty much not an excuse anymore.
The reason that Billy wanted to move was for the possibility of a promotion sooner in a new region. It was just a better opportunity for him to grow in his career. While I still hated the idea of leaving our friends, I knew that now was the time to move, before the kids get too big and start school. So I told Billy that he could go ahead and send in a transfer request. I was very pregnant with Weston, stressing about when we would hear if Billy got the transfer or not. Finally we heard that they did indeed accept his transfer request, and they wanted us in Georgia as soon as possible. We listed our house in Arizona and sold it in the first week, and Billy found our house for us here in Georgia.
Weston was born on April 21st, 2014 after a VERY short labor. Like 90 min from start to finish. It was crazy. He was 7 pound, 12 ounces and 20 inches long. Just like his brother.
We left Arizona on May 18th and got to Georgia on May 22nd, after staying with Billy's family in MO for a couple days in between. We stayed in a hotel for 2 weeks (it was miserable) before our house was ready on June 5th.
So yea, crazy year so far!

I will be good at this!
Ok, so I have attempted to blog in the past. I suck at it. But I wanted to start over, because really we are starting over at life. Our family is complete with baby Weston, we moved across the country to Georgia, and we are starting our new life here. And I am going to try REALLY hard to be consistent with blogging!
