I’m working on Dublin’s birth story. Yes, tomorrow he will be three weeks, so I should knock it out before I forget important details, like how I nearly gave birth in the toilet, or how our good friend Ben walked into the room just as my doctor was stitching up my lady bits. It was very similar to that scene in “Knocked Up.”

But something I’ve kept off twitter, this blog, myspace, facebook, etc is the big news.

Stephen was offered a job making DOUBLE what Stephen & I currently make. Combined. Sounds awesome, right?

Yeah, welllll… This job? Is in Idaho. Which is not exactly Vermont, where we (obviously) currently reside.

Holy cannoli.

Regardless, its good money. Which is awesome. But this means several things:

1. I have to resign from my job. A job I’ve had for four years and loved so much. Cry. Sad.
2. We have to get rid of essentially everything we own that won’t fit into our Corolla. Which means EVERYTHING. Except a playpen, some clothing and stupid stuff. Did I mention we’re leaving in ten days? EXACTLY. All our furniture needs to find homes. Fast.
3. We will be moving 2500 miles with a 4-week old infant. Who needs us to stop every 3-4 hours for feeding/changing.
4. We will be living (in sin!!!!) at my father’s house until we find a place to live. Awkward much?
5. Stephen has only lived in towns that have a MAX population of 5,000 residents. The city we’re moving to has 123,000 residents. Woah nelly.
6. Did I mention that I have to unload my three bedroom house in ten days? I did? Well it deserves to be mentioned again because it’s giving me heart palpitations.

So yes. Stressed would be one way to describe how I’m feeling. Also? In less than two months is our wedding. I still have to find a dress, but hopefully Jillian Michaels and her infamous Shred video will drop me a size or two before I buy at the last possible second.

Any recommendations for our big cross-country move? We’re also towing along a cat. How do we let the cat out for potty breaks? What kind of food should be bring for the four-day (we’re stopping at my gram’s for a day) journey? ANY advice would be appreciated!
