2 more years

So we were all prepared to move back up to Jersey. We miss the change of seasons, the snow and cold weather and the friends and family we have there. The kids have very few other kids to play with here and the ones we do have they rarely see because of distance. Up there they have cousins galore ranging from 8 months to 9 years old. We were planning and preparing for the big move and everyone knew we were coming/leaving. THEN....Amanda got offered a great job....in....Florida.
SO she'll be signing a 2 year contract to get this awesome critical care experience STRAIGHT out of school and we'll be here for 2 more years. We are happy to be around my parents for a while longer as our girls absolutely LOVE THEM. We have 2 more years to convince them to move up with us, which won't happen, but we'll try!
So I get to quit my current job VERY soon and I am THRILLED!!!! Then I'll stay home for a few months and live my dream of stay at home mom, then work part time. We already found a nice 4 bedroom house we'll rent. Not looking forward to the actual moving part, but at least we are packing over the course of a month or so so it won't be too bad.
REALLY hoping the girls will take to having their own rooms and let us have some restful nights. Lexi is excited to decorate her new room and we will get her either a twin or full size bed as she has told us that her toddler bed is for Haidyn. Hoping for a smoothe transition and we WILL make it to Jersey eventually.
And totally unrelated...
Haidyn FINALLY got her first tooth 4-12-10 after about 4 MONTHS of teething! She is standing on her own and walking with her push toys. She will take her first steps any day now. Time goes too fast!
Lexi is obsessed with singing the ABCs lately. It is too cute...except when she wakes up at like 2 am and wants me to sing it to her. But I try to cherish every moment, even the middle of the night ones.
