Moving Day!

Today is the officially moving day. I told Kate that last night she would sleep in this house, tomorrow she gets to sleep in her new room, she was very excited. Then for some reason whether it be over tiredness or pregnancy hormones, it finally hit me we are finally moving from our little apartment, and I got a little sad. It's been my home since I got married. I have had two children here and have really tried to make my home. I'm excited to get out of this place, but sad to leave so many memories. It's all I have know for 6 years, you kind of just get use to living is a place and forget how annoying some things are. Sharing walls with neighbors, bad wall paper, terrible green carpet. You make due and make the best home you can, and I think I achieved that. Change is good, I am excited! It's going to be a lot of work for a few weeks, but it will keep me busy. I will be without Internet for a while so this will be my last entry for a while. I'll definitely have to fill you in on our 4Th of July celebrations, everyone is already talking about Jerry and his firework show. It's his favorite holiday, he spends more on this then Christmas I think. He really enjoys himself and it's fun for the whole family. We so long for now.

Will I ever feel better?

Well, it has been a rough week in the Rasmussen home. On Monday we all caught the 24 flu bug, I was first, then Kate, shortly after Caleb and Jerry followed. I don't know, but I was just starting to feel better, getting out of that morning sickness phase I so love, and then this hits. Everyone seem to get better in 24 hours, except for me. I still seem to not be able to keep things down, not even water. I think what's happened is my body just can't seem to recover from having an empty stomach for so long, so I'm getting some of that morning sickness back. I just don't know what's worse, 3 months of sick or one day over overwhelming, to much to handle sickness. On top of all that, oh yes there is more, I am in over my head in boxes trying to get ready to move to our new place. I am so stressed, I don't know how it will ever get done. Jerry doesn't seem to be worried about it. That's either good or bad. That means he really thinks it can be done pretty easily or he has no idea how much stuff we really have to move. I hope he is right, and I hope this week gets better.

Caleb's Favorite show

I have been noticing in the last few days Caleb's reaction to this show called the Imagination movers on the Disney channel. Every time it comes on he gets this huge grin on his face and he starts to laugh. I thought it was a one time thing, but everyday this week he has done it every time. Out of all the show they show in the morning for Kids this has to be the most annoying one. Something about grown men dressed in funny outfit, getting way to excited about the smallest things, and annoying music just hits me a little strange. It figures that my son would like this show the best, the one mom can't stand. I don't mind to much, it makes him super happy. I personally think is the bright colors that gets his attention. I wasn't really paying attention to what time it was this morning, I just happen to have the camera out snapping pictures of the kids and I caught his reaction. Talk about perfect timing. It also funny that after he watches it he falls asleep for his morning nap, I think is the over stimulation of color and loud annoy music, that's my guess. Caleb's reaction I have to say is super cute. I love this little boy he is so funny sometimes.

Happy Anniversary

June 7, 2003, 6 years ago Jerry and I got married. We celebrated our anniversary yesterday, with a quite evening at home. We had are wonderful friend watch the kids for the evening while I made dinner and dessert for the two of us. We also got to watch a movie from start to finish without having to stop it 6 times. It was strange to not have the kids around. It's seems like forever ago when we didn't have any little ones around. It was a great day. I can't believe 6 years as gone by, it's been a ride. I'm looking forward to the many great years ahead. I have to apologize for the fuzzy picture, I got married before the age of digital cameras, my scanning job was the best I could do. I gave this picture to my husband as a gift yesterday and a special note. He really loved it. He doesn't remember ever seeing this one. Thanks Jill again for taking such wonderful pictures of our special day.

Packing

Well, packing is going very slowly, mostly due to the fact I get tired easily and I'm still, yes still nausea. So frustrating. I'm 14 weeks on Saturday so I am hoping it gets better soon. This time around has been seem so much worse. I feel like food will never be my friend again. I can't even think about it. Anyways back to packing. I feel like I have hardly made a dent in it. I think part of the problem is I am packing up Kate's room first. I figure that I can do and get it done the fastest. Knowing where to start was my other problem. I thought that would be the best and easiest place to start, I was wrong. Kate bless her heart make things so much worse because she see things that have been stored in her closet for 6 years and thinks everything is a toy and want to play with it. It has taken me twice as long as I plan to pack up her room ahhhh! Oh she found her pink suit case yesterday in the closet and decided she wanted to go visit grandma. She was so thoughtful to pack up some clothes for her and her brother. She said I got Caleb his p.j.'s and his tie for church and one outfit. She said how many planes does it take to get to grandma's? First the small one that the big one, can we go see grandma now. She is still asking to go to Grandma this morning. I was so frustrated with the fact she pulled out all the clothes I have been trying so hard to put away and keep folded in her draw. I love to wash laundry, it's the folding and putting away that I struggle with. It was hard to get to mad at her being as see was very serious about packing her own suitcase to go to grandma. I told her that she had enough clothes and what she pack was ok to stay in the suitcase. Kate has been pulling her suitcase around the house all night and morning. It's kind of cute I have to admit. So that's why I haven't made much progress, Kate is so busy playing new games and pretend with all the items I pull out I just can't keep up. One day at a time I guess, we will get it done. I know hate is a strong word but I really do hate packing/moving my whole house.
