bet you missed me
Wow what a long time since I have been here. Having a small child changes your life in so many ways. Well since I have been on last we have moved from the Island of Oahu to the Northern Virgina area. Just got into town yesterday. Not settled by any stretch of the mind. Today and tomorrow are house hunting days before we go to DH's parents for the 4th of July and baptism the boy and well just visit. That should be grueling on all of us. They are all ready fighting over who holds him first. As my SIL said to me yesterday "you have held him for 3 months it is my turn now." Uh I am his mom and well I will have him when I want to. I just want to see them try and stop me from holding my baby at any time. DH is all ready voting hands down on me. I am up for my baby meeting new people but it will be on my terms not theirs. When SIL had her two children I wasn't a hog and had to be the only person holding them. Nope I met them, held them for a bit and then well turned them over to other people. It should be interesting.
So far our first look at the newest place we will be living is a good one. We both will have to get used to traffic here. Everyone is in a hurry to get nowhere it seems. The roads are a bit strange. They seem to have a frontage type road in front of businesses that is separated from the main road by concrete and dirt in places. At the intersections they have stop signs and then the traffic lights for the main road. So it should be really interesting.
Have a great week. Hopefully when we are settled again I will have more time. But then again maybe not.

Yup. I did. (Miss you.) I was just thinking of you yesterday or the day before. Figured you were busy with the little one and would be back eventually.
Welcome stateside! I know what you mean about those frontage roads. While traveling east in the past, I've had the occasion to stop in Davenport, Iowa... the places I've stayed and this really yummy eating place are all on the other side of a frontage road. Takes an act of God & congress to get where you need to be, especially if you're on the opposite side of things. Last time, it was about 0200 when we got into the hotel, so I did a little curb jumping and made my own damn road, lol.
Take care and don't be a stranger.
Ah, so it's set up like Texas roads! I hate that. Here, it's all about one-way roads, which are as big of a pain as the frontage roads. Why can't I just go where I want?!
