Twenty One

I'm finally 21, as of yesterday.

Feel's no different than 20!

Of course, I was 15 weeks pregnant on my one, and only, twenty first birthday. However, I'm not worried about it, in August, I can re-celebrate :)

My day was full of...nothing special. Woke up to the kids, cleaned up a bit, played with them... received not one single happy birthday phone call, except from my husband. Waited pretty much all day long for him to get him home, like every day.

Then later that night, a sweet friend of mine brought me a card & beautiful flowers after she got off work. This made me smile, she got off work late for one, then drove out of her way to see me. She rocks.

A little after she left, my husband finally arrived! He had a gift in hand! A cute heart shaped necklace that says "mom" on it, and tons of chocolate. He is a good guy. We then headed to outback to feed ourselves. It was a good time, but we had to bring our dinner home to eat it because the girls were getting tired. Riley made me a cute picture for my gift, and helped me blow out my candles on my cake. Adison even learned how to sing happy birthday.

So, it was a good birthday! The fourth birthday I've spent with adam, doesn't seem like that long ago...

I took a few pictures, but now that I've finally sat down to upload them...I cant find the cord for the camera. Go figure. So I have to wait for adam to get home.

Still no word on the job that Adam applied for. The job doesn't officially open until March 1st, so I'm assuming if he does get it, we wont know before then. So with that job in the back of our heads, we are still thinking about his current job. We started to consider the idea "moving closer to him". He works over an hour away. So if he get's off at 6, he wont get home until 7ish. Get's off at 7, he wont get home till 8, etc. So if we moved closer to him, we'd be cutting 2 hours of his time spent on the road (as well as two hours of gas everyday) AND, he'd even get to come home for his hour long lunch break...instead of sitting in a parking lot. Cost of living IS higher there, because it is a tourist beach town. However, we have found regular homes there that are about $150 more than we pay now. We'd come out even without having to pay the $180 we spend a month on just his gas. SO FAR, it's a win-win situation.

BUT, we'd be an hour away from..."home". Seriously, the only time we'd really come back to beaufort is for Church and church events. It's kind of like...really moving. I do have a few friends in the hilton head/bluffton area...but it's not the same as here. Ok SHAY...isn't this what you wanted???? To get away from everything & everyone?

-Yes...& no. I AM only one hour away..so if I want to get together with everyone I can...which is a plus.

-We'd still go to the same church...so I still get to see everyone...another plus.

-I'd still see the same doctor and deliver in this hospital...plus. (i'd change the pediatrician, not crazy about the one we see anyway).

-My mom can hop on the interstate and meet us at the exit to get the girls. It'd be bout the same distance as where we meet now. Plus...

-CLOSE to the BEACH! The (small) mall, other shopping, lots more restaurants, sams club, never ending bike paths, pools....java joes....better schools. PLUS.

-We'd get to see adam three hours more a day. Plus plus plus!

Cons...

-I may miss having people just "stop by", or being able to go to late night coffee nights at cafe denton because I live to far away. Everything I'd do in beaufort would have to be planned....

-It'd be further from adams mom...yes im putting this on the con's list...because the girls have started going to her house allot and she has been watching them while i go to my appointments and everything. Which can still happen, just longer drives for the both of us.

-I hate moving, I've made this house pretty comfy and I like it. It feels like home.

So, six vs. three. Still sounds like a winning situation. Our lease in this house is up May 1st...if we want to move, it'd be mid-late april. HMMMMM...we have lots of praying to do.

Of course all this thinking it useless if Adam does indeed get this new job.

Lord, guide us!
