In anticipation of the chaos that we knew would come (and is, indeed, here) we decided to take a few days and head to Hawaii. Once we're settled in Iowa, it will be quite a hike. Also, once Steve gets in full work mode (which he pretty much is already) we don't really know when we'll be able to get away as a family. So, on April 17, we headed to Maui for a relaxing long weekend. It was heavenly. The weather was perfect, Lukasz was a dream to travel with (we are so blessed) and he loved the ocean/beach. (Although we spent most of our time in the pool. ICK! We hate sand!)
It all went too quickly, and we're home now gearing up for the big move. Our target date is May 13. We'll be going to corporate housing until our place sells and we're able to purchase our new home. It's exciting, yet unsettling. It will be nice to be able to get familiar with the area before making our decision on a neighborhood, but it will also be a bit weird to be without all of our belongings for potentially 3 months or so.
Steve has begun his travels already. he's at a meeting in New Orleans this week. Next week he's off to Denver and the following week he starts meeting individually with all of his reps in Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois. There is much to be done, and it makes the head spin. But it's certainly better than worrying about having an income or insurance, so I try hard not to complain.
It feels like Lukasz has grown so much in the past few weeks. His latest thing is interest in the dog. He is fascinated by Frankie and finds his really amusing. The only problem is that Frankie wants nothing to do with poor little LJ. He's reached out and touched him a few times. Frankie has been good about it so far. He's not too keen on it, but he hasn't reacted negatively. I am careful to watch, because with him you just never know.
