progress
Churchy rolled over from his back to his tummy on Thursday night. Whee! He scared himself in the process and made himself cry. It was pretty funny.
We're off later this afternoon to watch Meloknee play softball again. Finally the sun is out!
Here's an update I haven't shared with too many people yet.
I have only two weeks left at my job. After 6 and a half years, I gave my notice. I cried my eyes out. It will be so hard to leave my job. I love the people I work with and they have been my family but Grumpy and I decided that we need to be near our real family, especially now that we have two kids, and Little Bear with special needs. It has been extraordinarily hard to be without family and none of our friends here have kids so we don't really have any interaction that way. We can't really go out because we have no one to leave them with. We have wonderful friends here, but we just don't get to see them that often, so we've been feeling lonely and isolated.
Seattle, is an expensive place to live as well. We need a bigger house and we just can't afford one here, especially one that we need to make ADA accessible.
So anyway, after many discussions and several years of going back and forth we have decided that we are going to move to Arizona to be near Grumpy's family. We don't want to leave this beautiful place but it is in the best interest of our children, and that is all that matters to us. It will be hard to leave after 11 years and so many memories. This is the longest I have ever lived anywhere. Seattle, is the most home I have ever felt anywhere. I finally found a place where I felt like I fit in. It is where I met Grumpy and had my babies and had the happiest and saddest moments of my life so far. After I finish my two weeks at work we will spend the rest of the summer enjoying our time off, packing everything up and getting the house ready to sell. We leave for Phoenix the last week of August.
I am trying to be positive though and look for the good things that will be in Arizona (or Satan's asshole as we like to call it). It is always hard to start over again. I felt he same sadness when I left K-zoo. At least, I won't have to live in fear of giant earthquakes anymore, one big one was plenty for me. Now I will only have to fear black widow spiders, snakes, scorpions, republicans and country music!

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your opinion.
