The Big Decisions

Well, the big news here is that we're staying in VA.  At least for a little while.  We have been agonizing about what our next move should be.  Go back to Logan and the same company and all that we know? Stay in DC which is great but a mere 2,000 miles away from our families?  Take a complete shot in the darkness and pick somewhere new and a new company?

This is no small decision.   And it has not been easy.

So, we're staying for a bit longer.  Heber is moving divisions at his job and will be into something new.  A welcome change for him.

Honestly, I have mixed feelings about it all.  I like our life here.  I like being able to see new things.  I like the glass community and our friends.  It's just those moments when I think about how I grew up with my family all around that I'm sad that Leo doesn't get that same experience.  There are pros and cons either way. 

When we made the choice to move out here, we literally had 24 hours to make it.  It just felt right.  It leads me to question why some decisions are answered so easily and for others the resolution is hard to reach.  How do you make those big decisions?

To lighten the tone somewhat, we decorated for Easter today.  This little guy loved it.

Easter 2012

We celebrated Easter with our friends the Blakes. I decided that I wanted all of the traditional food and so I cooked it.  Ham, of course, potatoes, fruit salad and eclairs.  

I have had such good feelings around the holiday this year.  It was at Easter last year that we announced that we would be having a baby.  It was such a happy little secret.  It doesn't feel like it's been a whole year.  Happy Easter too all of you!
