New and exciting

There are some new exciting things happening these days. Exciting for me in my small life. First of all, Luke is taking me to see the Black Keys in Minneapolis tonight! I am very excited to have a night out - just the two of us.
We have a babysitter coming over to watch the kids and I am hoping she likes our family enough to come back once in a while so we can go out more often. Do you know how long it's been since we have been to a movie together? Luke's mom and dad watched Liam for us when he was a little baby and we went to Indiana Jones (the last one) and it was a big let down.
Another new exciting thing is, Luke was offered a temporary promotion and will be going to Iowa for 4 months! It's really more frightening for me since I will stay here in Minnesota with the kids, but very exciting for him.
It will be an adventure for me, to say the least. I plan to go down to see Luke as much as we can (seven hours in the car with the kids is a little daunting). I'll probably visit my mom and my sisters more and we plan on looking into a daycare center for the kids a few hours a week. I think it would be fun for them to play with other kids and get a break from me and necessary for me and my sanity.
We also found out they will be hiring for that position permanently...so there is a chance we could be moving there. We would be four to five hours away from most of our friends and family and seven hours away from where we are now.


It's raining right now and I have always loved rainy days. It is different, though, once you have a little boy running around. Rainy days mean movies, play doh, coloring books, and tents in the house. Rain today means mud pies and puddles tomorrow. I can't wait!
