Well, I decided to start a blog. Since we are moving to Arizona in May, I thought it would be nice to have a place to post pictures and update our family and friends about what is going on in the Raper family!
Life these days has been pretty chaotic! Devin accepted a diving job in Louisiana, which means that we are living apart. He is sharing a small house in Morgan City, LA with some co-workers, and the kids and I have decided to stay here in Kirkland until our lease is up in May. After our lease is expired, we will move to Scottsdale, AZ to be closer to my family. It was a very hard decision to come to, but we decided as a family that it would be the best situation for me and the kids. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Moving to Arizona means leaving behind friends, family, and a church that we both love. However, on the flip side, moving also means that we gain my family, SUN, and hopefully new friendships!
All of the sudden I feel like I have to pack in all the "Washington" activities before we leave! So I have scheduled a trip to the Tulip Festival, the Puyallup Spring Fair, and I think a ferry ride with the kids is in order!!! I have to keep reminding myself that we will be back to visit! Devin's family still lives in this area, and so we will be back frequently for visits, but it still seems like I need to have my fill of Washington before I leave!!! I have purchased myself and the kids each a Husky sweatshirt, a Seattle Children's Hospital Blanket, and I know there will be more Seattle souvenirs to come!!!
Life for me mainly consists of taking care of the kids. I am REALLY missing my partner, and I know the kids are missing their Dad. Thank God for Skype! It has been great to connect with Devin face to face, and give the kids a chance to see their dad and have a conversation with him.
I will do my best to keep this blog updated with all the happenings of the family! The next few weeks are going to be busy with packing, paperwork, doctors appointments, and figuring out all the details of the move! I do know one thing for sure, we are leaving to AZ on May 21st! Our one way tickets were purchased, and ready or not thats when we board the plane!
Love to all our family and friends!
