And so it is..

It hit me.
Jonathon is leaving.
A little late, right?
Is it horrible that I'm even tired of the word "Korea"?

There seems to be so much stuff to do. I'm not exactly sure how we acquired so many things.
Now I need to find boxes for these items. Sheesh.

This coming month, we need to focus on selling Jonathon's car. I'm hoping that is just an easy task and it goes quick and painless. It would be a huge check off of our "to do" list.

Jackson is going through some sort of 9 month sleep regression. Perhaps even a growth spurt. The child isn't sleeping. My poor husband was up all night with Jackson crying every 30 minutes. J sits up or stands up in his crib while he's still out of it and can't lay back down, resulting in waking him up. Now, Jon is back to work for the 3 day weekend and Jackson is back to being all mine at night. Yay.... I feel so bad for my little guy because obviously he isn't getting any sleep either. Then, he wants to wake up for the day at 6:30. I just walk in and tell him, "you know you're going back to sleep, right?". I take him downstairs and rock him. Sure enough, within 5 minutes, he's back to sleep. He puts himself to sleep beautifully at night. I wish he stayed asleep. This will pass, always has.

Jonathon is wanting to buy a house in Colorado. This scares me to no end. We've looked at houses several times and there are some beautiful choices, but the commitment is horrifying for me. Jonathon should have new orders before he leaves for Korea, and if they are in Colorado, I'll look at houses while he's gone I suppose. If they're somewhere else, then that process will need to wait until he's back.

On a bright note for me, Jonathon and I made a bet. The deal was the loser had to wear the other person's home state/college t shirt in their own home town. This was a bet that Jonathon lost. He now has the honor of sporting a CU hoodie while in Nebraska. Yes, I think it's hilarious. Yes, they are huge rivals and YES he would have made me do it if I had lost.

While Jonathon is gone, I'm going to try my hardest to stay busy. Besides joining the gym, or doing school, I'm hoping to make a trip to Arizona to see my favorite little cousins, Alex and Trevor. I'm also hoping to get some great pictures of my boy from my wonderful Aunt Michelle. Possibly in the summer, I'd like to take Jackson to Michigan since we couldn't go this year due to Jon's leave needing to be saved. Jonathon and I are also planning on taking Jackson to Sea World either on Jon's vacation or when he gets back for good. So, we have some fun things planned at least.

I realize this was such a pointless post, but I needed to kill 10 minutes before Jackson's nap (and he's busy playing with the kitty) and I guess I needed to put some of it in writing to make it a little more real.
