Quick Takes - Heavy Hitter Version

My brain is full and here is just a snippet of what's floating around up there.

1) My heart has been so heavy - please offer a prayer for a friend if you have the opportunity.

2) I have been the worst commenter, emailer, and blogger for the past month. My apologies!!!! I have been reading posts with google reader on my phone and it seems to be such an effort to click over to the actual post so I can comment. I have plenty of posts swirling around, but never take the time to write them down and share them with all of you.

3) Snicks and I are 80% sure that a move is in our near future. We were just out in CO where we both interviewed (he for a graduate assistantship and me for a job similar to what I do now) and had very positive feedback. He received the assistantship and I will likely be getting an offer next week (I know that could sound presumptuous, but my potential boss more or less told me I had it). Now, we just need to decide if the move is what is best for our family. Snicks has family out there, so that is good. Our immediate families are in MN, though (as well as other people we care about, JBTC!) and my heart longs to be back there. THANKS, PRAYER BUDDY, FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!!

*Note, they were super accomodating about the pumping and there are two other new moms who pump in the office.

4) In order to be best prepared, we hooked up with a realtor while we were in CO and explored the area. We found a home that we both love and it is across a short, dead-end (no zooming cars) street from a park complete with play equipment and a trail. The house has all sorts of charm and plenty of projects to improve it while still being in move-in condition. Here's a pic:

5) Our time in CO came at the end of two-plus weeks of jetsetting for AGN and me. Our first stop was NC, followed by MN, and then CO. She was perfect on two of the three flights which I think makes her a champ.

Pre-security jitters; I wore the moby through security and they didn't notice. Hmm...

6) I turned 31 while we were in MN. Typically my birthday meal is a highlight for me (saurkraut, German potato salad, glazed carrots, and brats) but this time it was a visit from JBTC!!! Her pictures are better, so check out her post for a pic.

7) CD1 might have been on my birthday. It was the heaviest spotting I have had since AGN was born but only lasted three days. I had cramps, too. Maybe it's time to start charting again?
