Life is finally settling down, and we are finally settling in to our apartment in (or should I say "back in") Waterloo. Wilson is getting so big it's crazy, and time is flying by due to the excitement that new jobs and adventures bring, but at least the days are longer and the weather is finally beginning to perk up!
To recap what has been going on with the Kimmichs, I will start with my birthday. I came home to some wonderful artwork from Wilson and enjoyed a fabulous night out with friends at a comedy club in South Bend. Also, that week, I found a job posting for a marketing position at a CPA firm in Waterloo. I applied and, as you probably guessed, was offered the job!
We are moving to Iowa! How exciting, but oh my word, what have we gotten ourselves into! Since we hadn't really been planning on moving, we now needed to get our house ready to sell, find a place to live in Iowa, find a daycare and find a job for Branden - all within five weeks and from five hours away. I don't know how, but we did it!
The
house looks fantastic (and is still on the market). As hard as it was to say goodbye to the amazing staff at Over The Rainbow Daycare in South Bend, we found a great option in the Cedar Valley. Branden started with TruGreen and has been hammering away at creating beautiful and luscious lawns for customers all over eastern Iowa, and my job has been worth the move as it is exciting and brings new opportunities daily.
I'm going to wrap up this lengthy blog with my first Mother's Day recap. We visited my grandma, my mom and Branden's mom and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Being a mom is fabulous and I'm almost positive Wilson knew that it was my special day! He is such a charmer and knew that I would love a beautiful necklace. I guess that Dad might have helped, too! Now I have to plan something extra special for Father's Day... pressure is on!
More to come... and hopefully more regularly!
