Busy, busy, busy...

I have been feeling bad for not updating my blog. It's been very busy around here the past couple of weeks. Right after Christmas we spent three days in Bellevue at the Hyatt. Eric's work put us up there for his first three days of work at the Bellevue office. The first night was our anniversary and Eric's parents were kind enough to watch Kaylin for us. It was especially nice of them because she came down with an ear infection that morning and was not in a very good mood. We spent New Year's Eve through January 2nd at Eric's parents' house. Eric's sister Carly and her husband Parker were in town and it was a lot of fun to hang out with them. Then on Saturday we tried to get a lot done at our house, but we of course had to watch the Seahawks game at the Greens and then it was time for Kaylin's birthday party with my side of the family. I have been trying to get a lot done while Kaylin is napping since she doesn't let me do much while she's awake. She has a new game of hide and seek she likes to play. I put her down in the living room with some toys and then I run off to try to clean or pack something and she comes to find me. It wouldn't be so bad but either I'm using lots of cleaning products or I'm in a messy area where I don't want her playing with the mess. I asked her if I could use some of my vacation days that I'm sure I've built up over the past year, but she told me that I don't get vacation days. It wouldn't be so bad, but I still have to live my normal life. I have to prepare my talk for sacrament meeting this Sunday, prepare my lesson for Sunday, have a cavity filled, go to mutual, and do the daily things like cooking and laundry.

But... there is GOOD NEWS. We found out that Wells Fargo is giving us the relocation package!! We weren't supposed to get it because Eric's new office is less than 50 miles from his old one. But Eric's district manager sent them some information about traffic in this area and they decided to relocate us! Yea! That means they are going to pack and move us, pay our real estate fees, and give us more money. We are so happy about it. Now at least I don't have to pack up everything by myself. With Eric being gone from 6:30 am until nearly 8:00 pm at night that doesn't give him a lot of time to help out.

I guess that's enough of my ramblings. Now you know why I haven't been blogging and why there are no picture albums of Kaylin from December or her birthday on her website. I guess I should go clean some windows or box up half of my closet now.

Wow! You have been busy. If you need someone to watch Kaylin, feel free to call me! The boys are mostly all better now. Or if you need help in your yard or anything.

How soon do you think you'll be moving? That's great that you guys are getting the relocation benefits! You want to give us a good deal on your house? ;)(kidding). Seriously, if you need help-
