The uncut adventure of my little southern family giving up our Arkansas life to experience "Sunny" Seattle!
It all started in May! Alex and I are laying in bed admiring our son and checking what we missed on social media over the night. Alex started laughing and said listen to this email. Little did I know that was the last normal morning we would have for months. The email simply stated "Are you and your wife ready to move to "Sunny" Seattle"? That morning we both laughed at such a crazy idea and as I sit here typing my bags are all packed and we are two weeks away from a one way trip.

The ugh of it all!
When we first started this process I just wanted someone to have blogged an example. I wanted it to contain the ins and outs of moving your toddler across the country. I expected someone would tell me what neighborhood to live in, what to pack, how to fly, and the best way to keep in touch. I tried every search I could think of and I could only come up with tiny pieces of information. I would put them all together and try to keep my head above water. I remember sitting in the floor one afternoon having a total meltdown. I was lost! Do I do FSBO? Do we hire an agent? Who do we hire? Do we move out early? Do we? Do we? Do we? I was so angry at the entire process and all the bloggers who failed me! I swore in that moment I would blog every tiny bit of info I could and make sure no other Mom had to go through all of my stresses! It would talk about travel, where to buy furniture, what mom groups to join and more! Now this realization did not talk me off the ledge but it did give me some sense of control. I eventually had to just hit my knees and give it all over to God and a realtor! I just couldn't do it on my own another moment! Well here we are 4 months later and I have not provided a single bit of information to any mom and I can't even begin to type any up! I don't even know how I have gotten this far. The truth is you just buckle up, put your faith in God, and just let go! He has opened every door and shut them just as he said he would. As soon as I shut up and sat back he just took off! I would like to say I will be posting super helpful Mom tips for moving to Kirkland but the truth is you have to just go through it! The perfect list for you is just that...for you! Nobody else is going to write just how you should live your life and why would you want them to! This may but the UGH of it but its also the FUN of it!
