Where did February Go?

As I realize that tonight is the last of February, I reminisce over the succession of days that made up this month. The first week of February was spent packing and boxing the couple of items that had come out of boxes while at my parents. The second week was spent driving, moving into our new place, and hubby starting his job. The third week was the start of my new job, answering questions like "Didn't you move? Why are you back?" and hearing "We have missed you!" This past week was a test of patience as I discovered my registration on my car had expired and dealing with the wonderful DMV, trying to figure out my job since my boss left for vacation with me having three days experience, and just generally figuring out life back in Oregon.

After having lived in 4 different places in the last 8 months I am yet again realizing why I hate moving. I've lost an enormous amount of items including a toaster, my day planner, and my cool dish soap dispenser and even I believe my brain. But the good parts of moving...we are finally in our own place, it's a new town to explore, and I'm learning new things in a new job with old friends.


Oh, and I'm back in the land of Dutch Brothers! :)

I have discovered the joys of Dutch Brothers. Yummy! And we are totally with you with the moving thing. Moving 5 times in 5 1/2 yrs - too much! I can't imagine moving as many times as Jason and Mike did growing up. Wow. As a kid, we only moved 4 times, and one was back to the same house. I hope you find your missing items! I'm missing a book I was reading - and it really annoys me! It is probably in some box in the garage. Aargh!
