Stressed mess

The last few weeks around here have been super stressful. We are buying a new house! While this is very exciting, I could really do without the moving part. We had to be out of the old house last week and won't be able to close on the new one until the beginning of next week. All of our belonging have been put into storage and the whole family (including the two dogs) is staying with our amazing friend,Chris, who opened his home to us. We are so thankful for that! I'm pretty sure having a two year old around has made him never want kids!
On top of the normal stress of moving, my sweet Aunt Pat passed away last week. She had been sick with cancer for several years. I know she is finally resting and free of pain, but it still sucks to lose someone you love. RJ and I made the trip back to my hometown for her funeral. Of course, RJ had to get sick with a fever while we were out of town. But he was such a good boy for the car ride.
Needless to say, I am ready for things to settle down. Hopefully we will close on our new house Monday and be able to get moved in as soon as possible. We all need the stability of a place to call home, especially RJ. The new place has lots of land which will be great for him and the dogs. I'm already planning a garden and hoping it isn't too late to have vegetables for the summer. I'm ready to get back to eating healthy and losing weight. I sure haven't been able to focus on that lately!
