Week 24 - Homeless

Week 24 Picture

As of Friday, we officially do not have a home address. Right now, all of our worldly belongings are sitting on truck or in a warehouse somewhere with no plan yet in place that can provide a definitive answer regarding where they are going. Honestly, it's kind of a disconcerting feeling. It'd be nice to have things sorted out for once. It's for this reason that I'm sitting in DIA right now, waiting on a plane to Portland. Hopefully, it won't be too long before we can have a little less uncertainty in our lives.

In general, things have been going alright so for. Never less, it's always tough traveling with a baby. They are fundamentally creatures of routine and nothing disrupts routine quite like moving does. My trip also marks the first time that I've spent more than a full day without seeing my boy since he's been born. It's going to take some getting used to, though hopefully I'll never actually be in a position where I need to get used to it. Fortunately, besides a bit of extra trouble sleeping at night, Jay is handling everything pretty well. It's really nice that he's getting to spend a little extra time around his family. I can tell that he's really enjoying it. Lord knows that I am too. 

Although this transition is stressful, I'm looking forward to what waits on the other side. Fewer boxes, fewer decisions, more family time, exciting opportunities for career advancement, and above all, a chance to catch my breath. Exciting times are ahead of us.
