Drew and I moved from Redmond to Bothell, then just a few short months later we moved out of our apartment in Bothell to live in my mom and stepdad's house while they moved to Australia for the year.
About mom and John... They are going to get a divorce. While sad, it is for the best. They both deserve more than what they were giving each other. I just want them to be happy.
This does NOT mean I am losing my family. I am terrified of this happening, but I refuse to let it. I talk to Amanda almost on a daily basis even with her in a different country. {She comes home with my mom in the 22nd!} I will never lose her as long as it is in my control to do so. In fact, I have more plans for our future together than ever! It will be a challenge once Drew and I move out and we aren't all living together. But, it is something that is worth my time.
Speaking of moving out. We have NO idea what to do next! Ha ha! Mom will be home and staying in the room that used to be mine while Drew and I stay in the master bedroom that used to be hers. Strange, yes, I'm aware. It is going to be CRAZY in the Lockleer/Pettersen household. But, we will make it work as long as we all can because we need to. You don't get opportunities to only pay $300 a month to live in such a fine establishment all the time. We want to buy a house so we don't have to move for a while. We want to settle. I want to decorate! I hate living in a shared space where nothing is truly mine. But, I am so thankful for this time because not only has it allowed us to save, but it has given my mom and John a little peace of mind to know their home is being well maintained.
Oh did you ask about kids? No? Well, I'll tell you anyway. They are in our future! We have a tentative TTC timeframe and that is the best news to little ole me. I want to make babies with that tall, dark and handsome husband of mine. He is going to be the most amazing father.
So many changes coming up. So much to look forward to and to be nervous for. The only thing that is keeping me sane is that I am trying my best to do it according to God's plan and not rush everything. He has been so good to us and I can only hope that I show that love around.
I have an opportunity to sing on the music team at my church and I am SO EXCITED! I feel that God has been calling and I finally listened. We will see how it actually goes. But, I'm so giddy for what it could mean.
I hope to update more often. But, that is a silly hope because I probably won't. I suck. I know. :-)
