The Move

     Well it's official. We are completely unpacked and settling into our new home at my in-law's house. Let's just say after moving for the fifth time in less then five years Marc and I said that we never want to move again. Ok, that's a lie, we hope to move again into our own place by the end of this year, but we'll see how everything goes. So far everything has been great here. In fact, It's kind of fun being in a home and not just a basement or a junky duplex. Sometimes I pretend like it's mine and Marc's house because we hardly ever see Marc's parents! Marc's mom Susan works until 4 every day and Dave doesn't get home until about 6. And this weekend they are both in St George visiting Marc's older sister and family. Because of this we hang out upstairs a lot and it gives me a small glimpse of what having my own home will be like.... *sigh. A realtor has been sending me updates on new homes for sale and although we aren't in the position to move anytime too soon it makes my mouth drool looking at homes and dreaming of what my perfect home would be. Is it ridiculous that I yearn to have my own home so much? I know that home is anywhere that Marc and Cannon are and I truly do feel that way. I just am excited to start traditions in my own home where we can actually celebrate holidays in the same place every year and really get to know and make the effort to make relationships with neighbors and ward members who I know I'll know for several years rather then just one year at a time. I can't wait to clean a toilet knowing that it's actually "my" toilet :). Kind of kidding... Although I despise yard work, I can't wait to plant my own plants and put a swingset in the backyard for Cannon to play on. I have a lot of dreams for a home, and don't get me wrong I still try my best to make every place we've lived in a home and we have made countless meaningful memories at each place that we've lived, I'm just excited is all!
     I'm kind of feeling lazy and don't think I'll post any pictures today. I recently started instagram and that has been a fun way to document some pictures and fun moments during the day. I've also made it a goal to start writing in my journal once a week. I used to be really good at it, but ever since I had Cannon I have seemed to have lost the time to do it. I also started carrying around a small journal that fits in my purse so I can write down the funny and awesome little things that Cannon does on a daily basis. I don't want to forget those moments and writing them down is the only way for me to remember most of them! Yesterday Cannon went pee in the potty! He pointed to the toilet said "Puh-Puh" and I asked him if he wanted to go and he did! Crazy! I never expected him to go potty so early. I know we're far away from him actually being potty trained, but I was still amazed and proud of my little guy! He is so much fun. It seems like all of his mannerisms and the way he acts during the day are so much more toddler like instead of baby. It pretty much kind of makes me sad. Stop growing Cannon! I find it funny that most mom's think that their babies grow up too fast and they want them to stay little forever. He is so stinkin cute and fun though. Love that little dude!
