Updates are in brown italics!- sell/rent our house (I wish I could control that one...) - we at least have a plan to rent it to someone in Tim's current office if it doesn't sell by the end of June, though of course we would rather sell it!
- find a place in CA to rent. We have several good options in Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, and Calabasas thanks to Tim's family who have been graciously checking things out for us! We just need to decide, but won't be able to sign a lease for a few weeks because of:
- determine exact moving dates.Yes, we have figured this out - at least the driving portion. Tim + my dad + my brother are driving both our cars across 40 leaving on July 17 or 18! (Probably 17th). My mom is coming out here to fly back with Benjamin and I, and we're leaving on the 16th!
- get medical records for Benjamin and I. I'll get mine at my last appointment, and I still have to call for Benjamin's.
- buy plane tickets. Again, this depends on my last doctor's appointment, and Pepperdine has to do Benjamin's and my tickets. We should decide this one soon! *We bought my mom's tickets last night, so the three of us are leaving NC on JULY 16th!!!
- pack all our stuff. and give away/sell stuff we don't want to move. or haven't seen in the 2 years we've lived in this house. :) I'm working on it. Anyone want to buy a cordless phone and answering machine? Or need some books? We even managed to pack some things from the kitchen last week (vases, pitchers, etc). It doesn't seem that we have tons more to box up.
- go to 3 or 4 more OB appointments here (including the oh-so-fun syrupy glucose tolerance test in 2 weeks) My syrupy glucose test is next Friday, mmmmmmm.
- choose insurance and make a doctor's appointment in CA (recommendations, anyone?). We've pretty much decided to go with the Kaiser insurance, based on how amazing their benefits are and how helpful they've been to me when I've called with questions. This also kind of takes care of the doctor choice, since I'll be going to the practice closest to us and I'm pretty confident that I'll like at least one doc there. Plus which, when the time comes to have this baby I'm pretty sure I won't care who the person is getting him out!
- be sad about leaving all our dear NC friends behind (I probably won't be able to cross that off. You'd all better keep in touch.)
- plan photography for two weddings I'm shooting for friends the first week of August (since I'm crazy like that. You'd all better be praying that baby boy stays put until at least August 11th!) I have possible photo lists to the brides, just need final lists from them! And I'm going to one wedding on July 26th with my parents in Santa Barbara (not working though, just attending. I'm looking forward to it and to staying with Rachel and Nathan!). And I'm doing swim team photos tomorrow. I'm enjoying getting some jobs here and there!
- pray for Tim's new job
- try not to be stressed out about the above list. or making new friends. I'm surprisingly calm, really. There are several things on this list, but most of them are quite easy to deal with. Plus, I can't wait to live in CA again...though I do have to get a new driver's license fairly quickly, since my NC license will expire on my birthday. Something for the "once we live in CA list" I suppose... :)
And now, a photo of Benjamin eating pretzels. Who knew pretzels were so boring?

One thing that's unique about you is you're the only person I know who says "plus which." I'll miss you!!! (For that and many other reasons!)
i'm not sure where that phrase originated...but i'm going to start a trend. it's a good one, you should try it out so you can keep it going once i leave!!
