I can't believe the first blog I did was back in the beginning of April. Time has flown by. I haven't posted anything lately because until recently there was nothing happening when it comes to our upcoming move. Our house was on the market for about two months which felt like a really long time but we finally got and offer and we are starting to pack up and get ready to head off to Arizona.
 So, we are really excited about the move but we are also scared out of our minds. Packing up and selling everything is hard to do. Getting rid of all our stuff only to start over again is very nerve racking. The are so many mixed emotions in our home right now its been crazy!
 I have been busy trying to find Cohen a kindergarten that will be just right for him. Doing that from Alaska is a little tough, he is on a bunch of wait lists for some really awesome schools, so we are keeping are fingers crossed that a space will open up for him. I worry about the kids a lot during this whole process. There are so many changes happening and I know they are young but, selling their things, moving into a new house in a different state, making new friends, and going to a brand new school can be tough on the kids too.
 I feel like there are so many things we would like to do before leaving Alaska and I know that time is running out to do them. Hopefully we will get around to doing some of them. Tony will be back up here for work every three weeks and I'm jealous of him that he will still have that tie to Alaska and the ability to work and play here whenever he would like. However I think the jealousy will pass when I'm sitting by our pool drinking margaritas! Back to packing and selling, I hope the whole closing process on the house goes quickly and we are able to find the perfect new home for our family in Arizona.
